Instructions
Creating this irresistible Texas Roadhouse Chili is easier than you might think! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell peppers to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Tomatoes and Beans: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and kidney beans. Mix everything well to combine.
4. Spice it Up: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the meat and vegetables in the pot. Stir until the spices coat the mixture.
5. Pour in Broth: Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Give everything a good stir, ensuring it’s well combined.
6. Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices as per your preference.
8. Serve Hot: Once done, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow flavors to meld beautifully.
