Chili with a Secret

Chili. It’s one of my go-to meals when it’s cold outside. I’ve made a lot of chili recipes before, but this one is my favorite. Yes, there is a secret ingredient…

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp of vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 medium red onion, diced

1 jalepeno, seeded and diced

1 Tbsp of garlic, minced

1/4 cup of chili powder

2 Tbsp of cumin

2 Tbsp of paprika

1 cup of brewed coffee

2 1/2 cups of slow-cooked chuck roast, cut into 1” pieces

2- 15 oz cans of red kidney beans

2- 28 oz can of diced tomatoes

In a large stock pot, heat oil.  Add red bell pepper, onion, jalepeno and saute for 3 minutes.  Add garlic and spices.  Continue to cook over medium heat another minute or so.

Add coffee.  Stir and bring to a boil.  Add beans, steak and diced tomatoes.  Simmer on low for 45 minutes to an hour.
