Equipment
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 wooden spoon
Ingredients
  
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups bone broth or any broth of your choice
  • 1 15 oz can kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 1/2 tsp tomato paste
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
Instructions
 
  • Add olive oil to a large saucepan, and heat it up over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, it is time to add in the diced onion and garlic.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes, or until you notice that the onion is soft and the garlic is fragrant.
  • You may need to adjust the temperature if you notice that the garlic is browning.
  • Add in the ground beef and give the mixture a good stir, making sure to break up the meat using a wooden spoon.
  • Cook the meat for about 10 minutes, or until it has developed a nice golden-brown color and released its natural juices.
  • Season the beef, garlic, and onion mixture with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and red chili flakes.
  • Stir all the ingredients together, making sure that the seasonings blend into the mixture.
  • Pour in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and broth, and keep stirring the chili until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Finally, add in the kidney beans while stirring the chili to fully combine all the elements you’ve added.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chili simmer for at least 25 minutes. Also, remember to leave the pot uncovered.
  • You also want to stir the chili frequently to prevent the meat and kidney beans from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • After 25 minutes, your Texas Roadhouse chili is done and ready to serve, but as we’ve mentioned, you can always let it cook on low for a bit longer if you want the flavors to be even more intense
