This chili recipe has no beans and is packed with flavor. My husband won't eat beans but loves chili, so I had to create this variation on an old favorite. I used lots of canned tomatoes and onion in this dish which is great served over rice with shredded cheese and sour cream.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Crumble beef into the hot stockpot. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until beef is evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.

  2. Stir in chili powder, oregano, cumin, and hot sauce. Pour in tomatoes and vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning.
