How to Make Chili con Carne
Prep ingredients
Brown beef
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a dutch oven and brown beef pieces in a single layer. Do this in batches so the beef can actually brown, and not just steam. Don’t drain the fat, we’ll use it to cook the aromatics!
Saute aromatics
Add onions and peppers to dutch oven and saute until soft. Add garlic and cook for a minute. Toast spices. Add all of the spices to the dutch oven and stir to coat the veggie mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
