Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Beef Chili.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large pot over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and bacon.
Step 2
Sauté until the onion turns translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the ground beef, minced garlic, and cumin to the pot.
Step 4
Stir and cook until the beef is thoroughly browned, roughly seven to ten minutes.
Step 5
Once the beef is ready, pour in the water and add the rinsed kidney beans, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, chili powder, liquid smoke, salt, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce if you like a kick.
Step 6
Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken, for about one hour.
Step 8
If you notice any excess grease forming on the surface, feel free to skim it off for a cleaner finish.

Enjoy the rich aroma as it fills your kitchen, promising a hearty meal ahead.
