Hearty Beef Chili

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Beef Chili.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chili, grab a large stainless steel soup pot and warm up some bacon grease over medium-high heat.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s nice and hot, toss in your cubed round and sirloin steak.

3. Step 3

   Cook the meat, stirring frequently, until it’s beautifully browned—this should take about 10 minutes and will fill your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.

4. Step 4

   Next, pour in the prepared onion soup and bring everything to a lively boil.

5. Step 5

   Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 7 minutes, giving it a gentle stir now and then to scrape up those tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to add in the kidney beans (don’t forget the liquid!), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything together and bring it back to a boil, stirring often to keep it from sticking.

8. Step 8

   When it’s bubbling away, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally to keep the flavors mingling.

9. Step 9

   After that hour of anticipation, stir in the cola, yellow pepper sauce, and cocoa powder.

10. Step 10

    Let it simmer for another 20 minutes, allowing those rich flavors to meld beautifully.
