Ingredients

2 tsp Olive oil

1 Medium onion(s), chopped

2 Medium stalk celery, chopped

2 Medium garlic clove(s), minced

1 Small jalapeno pepper(s), seeded and minced**

1 pound Lean ground sirloin

2 tbsp Chili powder

2 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Dried oregano

2 piece Bay leaf

1/2 tsp Table salt

1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes, or more to taste

28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes

1 cup Canned beef broth, reduced-sodium

8 oz Canned tomato sauce

30 oz Canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup Shallot(s), chopped

Preparation

Instructions

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and jalapeño; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add beef and sauté until browned and cooked through, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5 minutes; drain mixture through a colander to remove excess fat.

Return beef mixture to pan (set over medium-high heat) and add chili powder, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt and red pepper flakes; stir to coat vegetables and beef with spices. Add tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce and beans, and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes.

To serve, discard bay leaves, ladle chili into bowls and top with chopped shallots. Yields about 1 heaping cup per serving.
