Instructions
To Make the Chili
- Brown the ground beef in a large Dutch oven, with a lid, over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain the browned beef in a colander set in your sink.
- Return the pan to the stove and add the diced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Return the browned beef to the pan and combine with the sautéed onions. Then add the minced garlic and stir to combine with the meat and onion mixture. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder and ground cumin. Stir to combine after the addition of each ingredient. Place the lid on the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, add the kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Then stir to combine. Replace the lid, reduce the heat to low, and keep the chili warm while you prepare the queso cheese sauce.
