Creating Beef and Six Bean Chilli is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Below are the steps to guide you through making this delicious dish:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
3. Add Aromatics: Once the beef is cooked, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4. Mix in Spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
5. Combine Beans and Tomatoes: Add the kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, navy beans, garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Bring to Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, allowing the chilli to simmer.
7. Simmer: Cover and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The flavors will meld together perfectly.
8. Check Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder based on your preference.
9. Serve: Once the chilli has thickened and the flavors are developed, it’s ready to serve!
