Ingredients
The 2 alarm chili kit typically comes with:
- Chili powder
- Crushed red peppers
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Cumin
- Salt
- Corn flour (to thicken the sauce)
- Cayenne pepper (for that extra heat!)
You will also need:
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups water
Preparation Steps
- First, cook the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat. Keep stirring until the meat is brown and crumbly.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook them with the meat until they’re soft.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and water. Stir everything together.
- Sprinkle the contents of your chili kit into the pot. Mix well so all the flavors blend together.
- Let your chili simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir it occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Add the kidney beans and let everything cook for another 10 minutes. Make sure it’s hot all the way through.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- If you’re not into meat, you can use chopped mushrooms or tofu instead for a vegetarian version.
- Some people like their chili thicker. If that’s you, let it simmer for extra time until it’s as thick as you like.
- For a milder chili, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the kit.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your 2 alarm chili hot. It’s great on its own or with rice. You can also top it with cheese, sour cream, or green onions for extra flavor and fun.
Nutritional Information
