Cooking steps

1

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and immediately sauté the chopped onion and red bell pepper for about 5 minutes until softened.
2

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
3

Add the ground beef to the pot and break it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
4

Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper directly over the beef. Stir well to coat everything evenly and toast the spices for 2 minutes.
5

Add the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
6

Cover the pot and let chili simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Uncover for the last 10 minutes to thicken if you prefer a thicker chili.
7

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Serve hot, optionally garnished with scallions or cheddar cheese.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Super Bowl Chili?

The key ingredient is ground beef, which forms the hearty, flavorful foundation of this chili. Along with beans, it provides the bulk of the protein and rich, satisfying texture that makes this dish ideal for game-day gatherings.

Q. Why is heat control important when making chili?

Careful heat control during the simmering stage (step 6) allows the flavors of all ingredients—especially the browned beef and spices—to meld without burning or drying out the chili. Reducing to low heat and stirring occasionally prevents sticking and ensures a thick, tasty chili.

Q. How do you avoid mushy beans or overcooked beef in this chili?

To avoid mushy beans, add them after the beef and vegetables are mostly cooked, and simmer gently rather than boiling. Cooking the beef until just browned avoids toughness, while stirring during the final simmer keeps texture optimal, resulting in a hearty chili with distinct beans and tender meat.

Q. How many calories, protein, and carbs are in each serving?

Each 320 gram serving contains approximately 410 kcal, with 29g protein (28% of calories), 28g carbohydrates (28%), and 18g fat (44%). This balanced profile makes it both hearty and relatively high in protein for a chili.
