Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Ground Beef and Chorizo Chili with Beans.
Step 1
Start by pouring the diced tomatoes into a large stockpot and warming them over medium heat.
Step 2
While the tomatoes are gently heating, grab a large skillet and brown the ground beef over medium-high heat.
Step 3
This should take about 5 to 7 minutes, and remember to stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Once the beef is nicely browned, drain any excess grease and transfer it to the stockpot with the tomatoes, letting those flavors mingle.
Step 5
Next, in the same skillet, add the chorizo and cook it over medium-high heat until it’s browned and crumbly, which will take another 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 6
After draining the grease, add the chorizo to the stockpot as well.
Step 7
Now, let’s bring some aromatic goodness to the mix! Pour a splash of olive oil into the skillet and sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic over medium-high heat until they become translucent and fragrant, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in the ground cumin and chili powder, allowing them to cook for an additional 3 minutes to really enhance those flavors before transferring this delicious mixture to the stockpot.
Step 9
In the stockpot, it’s time to add some hearty ingredients.
Step 10
Toss in the rinsed black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans, followed by a splash of lime juice, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 11
Give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 12
Now, let’s add some color! Reheat the skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sauté the chopped bell peppers for about 5 minutes until they’re just tender.
Step 13
Add these vibrant peppers to the stockpot, bringing even more flavor and texture to your chili.
Step 14
Finally, stir in the frozen corn and season your chili with hot sauce, along with any additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 15
Allow the chili to simmer for about 30 minutes, letting all those wonderful flavors meld together.
Step 16
Just before serving, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
Step 17
Enjoy your hearty, flavorful chili that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends!.
