Three Bean and Beef Chili
by Pam on August 22, 2013
We had a cloudy day today, and although it was still warm, it made me want to make some comfort food. I had a little ground beef to use up so I decided to make a batch of chili. I found a recipe by Ellie Krieger[1] that sounded perfect. I added an extra can of beans since I used less meat and it turned out delicious. I loved the smoky flavor the chipotle and adobe sauce gave to this chili. My daughter wasn’t home for this meal but my husband and I really loved it. When I asked my son what he thought, he said he didn’t like it too much. I can’t win them all.
Heat the oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, oregano, and minced garlic then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the ground beef, breaking up the meat, until the meat is no longer pink. Stir in the tomatoes, beef broth, chipotle and adobo sauce, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook, partially covered, 20 minutes longer. Taste and re-season if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream and green onions. Enjoy.
