Ingredients
- 2 Yellow Onions
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Poblano pepper
- 2 Jalapeños
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 6 tsp. Olive Oil
- 2 lbs. Ground Beef
- 1 can 6 oz. Tomato Paste
- 2 cans 14.5 oz. Diced Tomato
- 2 cans 15 oz. Tomato Sauce
- 2 cans 15 oz. Ranch Style Beans
- 6 tsp. Cumin
- 6 tsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp. Garlic Salt
- 2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp. Cajun or Creole Seasoning
- 2 pcs Bay Leaves
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients needed to make this Cajun Ninja Chili. Dice the onions and bell peppers, mince the garlic cloves and jalapeños, and drain all canned beans, tomatoes, and sauces.
- In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, and garlic in olive oil until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add in the ground beef. Cook until browned and cooked through about 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Reduce heat to low/medium and add in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, ranch-style beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, smoked paprika, Cajun or Creole seasoning, bay leaves, and water. Stir to combine.
- Simmer for 20 minutes or until the chili has reached the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better quality ingredients you use, the more flavorful your chili will be.
- Adjust the spiciness level to your liking. If you prefer a milder chili, omit the jalapeños and reduce the amount of chili powder used.
- Let it simmer. The longer the chili simmers, the deeper and more complex the flavors will be.
- Let it rest. Letting the chili rest for a few minutes before serving allows all of the flavors to meld together and develop even further.
