Wendy’s Chili: A Hearty Classic
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup beef broth (optional)
Instructions:
Preparation: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked, draining any excess fat.
Cooking: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring for another minute to allow the spices to bloom.
Final Touches: Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Let the chili cook for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a thinner chili, add some beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
Serving: Serve the chili hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños.
