Homestyle Chili
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
  • 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO*TEL)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 (1.25 ounce) packages chili seasoning (such as McCormick® Mild Chili Seasoning Mix)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
  • 1 (14 ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for preparation.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a substantial cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Introduce ground beef into the hot oil, shaping it into a single substantial mass; allow the bottom layer to develop a rich brown color, approximately 8-10 minutes.
3
Stir and disintegrate the browned beef into smaller fragments. Continue to cook until the beef reaches a fully cooked state, devoid of pinkish hue, roughly 5 minutes longer.
4
Combine chopped celery, onion, and bell pepper into the beef mixture, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
5
Introduce stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and water into the pot.
6
Break apart large chunks of stewed tomatoes, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
7
Add a dash of chili seasoning to the pot. Introduce kidney and pinto beans, stirring them into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8
Gradually increase heat to a boil, then decrease the heat to a low setting and allow the chili to simmer for 1 hour.
9
Mix vinegar into the chili just before serving.
