Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Texas Chili with Beef and Sausage.
Step 1
Start by heating the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the thinly sliced beef top sirloin and sweet Italian sausage. Cook them together with the chopped onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir occasionally until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Next, pour in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, followed by the chicken bouillon granules and honey. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 3
Now it's time to spice things up! One by one, add the cayenne pepper, chili powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and white sugar. Each addition will enhance the chili's depth, so take a moment to stir well after each spice is added.
Step 4
As the chili simmers, sprinkle in the shredded Cheddar cheese in small batches, stirring to melt it into the mixture. This will create a creamy texture that complements the hearty ingredients.
Step 5
Once everything is well combined, reduce the heat to low and let the chili slow cook for about 2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to develop and intensify, making every bite a delight.
Step 6
To thicken the chili, stir in the masa (corn flour) and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes. This will give your chili a rich, satisfying consistency that’s perfect for serving.
