Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds of Wegmans Organic Grass-Fed 93/7 Ground Beef
  • 1 tablespoon of Wegmans Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 containers 7 oz each of Wegmans Organic Pre-Chopped Onions
  • 1 package 7 oz of Wegmans Diced Sweet Bell Peppers & Onions Mix
  • 3 cloves of Wegmans Peeled Garlic finely minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 4 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 container of Wegmans Organic Chili Spice Blend
  • 2 teaspoons of Wegmans Organic Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons of Wegmans Organic Dried Oregano Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 can 14½ oz of fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can 15 oz of Wegmans Organic Dark Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 oz of Wegmans Organic Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 bottles 12 oz each of Wegmans Chili Tomato Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups of Wegmans Organic Beef Bone Broth

Instructions
 

  • Begin by gathering all your ingredients. The prep work is crucial. Chop the garlic and prepare your veggies to have everything ready for the cooking phase. Organizing your ingredients will streamline the process.
  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper mix. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften. The aroma will fill your kitchen.
  • Next, increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef into the pot. Break the meat up with a spoon, stirring occasionally. Brown it until it’s fully cooked—a nice 8-10 minutes. Remember to drain any excess fat.
  • Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic. Stir it in for about 1 minute, just enough to bring out that rich flavor. Then, sprinkle in the sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, chili spice blend, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. This combination will elevate the dish immensely.
  • Now comes the moment of goodness. Stir in the can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes and the beef bone broth. The liquid pulls all the flavors together, making the chili rich and hearty.
  • It's time to add the star players—the beans! Toss in both types of beans and the chili tomato sauce. Stir everything for a consistent blend. This is where the chili starts to take shape.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow it to simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Think of this time as the chili letting all those flavors mingle and marry.
  • Once your time is up, taste your chili. This is the fun part! Adjust the seasoning if needed. Sometimes a bit of extra salt or a pinch of spice can make all the difference.
  • Dish out your chili into bowls. Top it with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions. Grab your cornbread, and dive in!

Notes

  • Quality Ingredients: Always opt for quality meats and organic vegetables when possible. It really impacts the flavor.
  • Make It Ahead: Don’t hesitate to make this a day in advance. The flavors deepen and improve.
  • Control the Heat: Adjust the spicy elements. If you have kids or less adventurous eaters, dial back the heat.
  • Garnishing Matters: Don’t overlook garnishes. A little lime or cilantro can brighten up the dish immensely.
  • Watch the Simmer: Don’t rush the simmering. Allow your chili the time it needs to develop flavors.
