Ingredients

  • 5 – 6 pounds chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat and cut into large chunks
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 – 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 – 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 (28- ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (16- ounce) cans kidney or black beans
  • optional – 1 (11- ounce) can corn, drained (I like to use Mexicorn)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • topping ideas – Fritos, sour cream, grated cheese, jalapeños, cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (7- quart) Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium and warmth the remaining 2- tablespoons of olive oil. Add in the onions and bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  5. Add in the garlic and cook for a further minute, stirring often.
  6. Add in the tomato paste and 2 cups of beef broth and stir to combine, scraping up the brown bits.
  7. Add the meat back to the pan, add in the crushed tomatoes, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 1/2 -3  hours stirring every now and then, or until the meat is tender. Add in additional beef broth if chili is getting too thick.
  9. When the meat is tender, shred using a fork. Add in the beans and corn, if desired.
  10. Cook for a further 15 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper as desired.
