Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the minced onion and green bell pepper and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until softened.

2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the ground beef or turkey, the pinch of salt and the kosher salt. Break up the meat and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned. Cook until it reaches 160°F (71°C) inside and no pink remains.

4. Stir in the black pepper, cumin and dried parsley and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Add the crushed tomatoes, drained kidney beans, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and chipotle Tabasco sauce. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.

6. Reduce the heat to low so the chili barely bubbles. Partly cover the pot and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so it does not stick.

7. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes more to thicken slightly before serving hot.
