Chili con carne with kidney beans

Meat - Chili con carne with kidney beans by Ramona B. - Recipia

The ground beef is browned, then chili con carne with kidney beans goes in the oven until the sauce thickens. The beans stay soft in the sauce, and the chili seeds let you adjust the heat of each serving. I choose ground beef with a little fat, not extra-lean. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 90 minutes. Rest: 0 minutes. Total: 110 minutes. Serves: 4. About 570 kcal and 31 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 500 g ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 1 medium onion (150 g)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 green chili pepper
  • 1 red chili pepper
  • 1 can peeled tomatoes (400 g)
  • 100 ml vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 can kidney beans (400 g)
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 15 g parsley

Preparation

1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the bell pepper, green chili pepper and red chili pepper; keep the seeds for more heat. Dice the tomatoes finely. 2. Heat the oil in an oven-safe pot. Add the beef and cook for 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until it breaks up and starts to brown. 3. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring. Add the bell pepper, chili peppers and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onion softens. 4. Add the tomatoes with all their sauce, the vegetable broth, salt, pepper, cumin, hot paprika and oregano. Stir and put the pot in an oven preheated to 180°C for 60 minutes. 5. Drain the beans and stir them into the pot. Put it back in the oven for 15 minutes, until the beans are hot and the sauce has thickened. 6. Serve hot, with a spoonful of sour cream and chopped parsley on top.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, I replace the sour cream with 4 tablespoons of plant-based sour cream; the regular version contains dairy. The chili keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days and should be heated through before serving. Ground beef with a little fat stays juicier than extra-lean beef, and you can remove the seeds from the chili peppers for less heat. If the canned tomatoes are very juicy, leave the pot uncovered for the last few minutes, until the sauce thickens. The heat can build as the dish sits for a while, so adjust the seeds before baking. Serve plain rice alongside, too.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use ground turkey?

Yes, use 500 g and brown it for 6-8 minutes, until no pink remains. The rest of the baking time stays the same.

Can I replace the kidney beans with black beans?

Yes, add 240 g cooked and drained black beans instead of the canned kidney beans.

What should I do if the dish turns out too spicy?

Add another spoonful of sour cream to your serving. Next time, remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping them.

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

Use 400 g ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced. The sauce may be less thick than with canned tomatoes.
