Diner food: Chili and Beans for chili size

There are hundreds of chili and beans recipes. This is just my take on an iconic diner dish. I posted a video of making it on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/skip.hansen.31/

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup white onions, 1/4 inch dice

12 ounces 80/20 ground beef

2 1/2 tbsp chile powder (I used New Mexico chile powder)

2 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp granulated sugar

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp granulated garlic

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 1/2 cups beef stock

1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes

1 (15 oz.) can red kidney beans, rinsed

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce

Grated cheddar, diced onions, diced tomatoes for garnish

Directions:

Add olive oil to a soup pot and place over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the ground beef, crumbled. While the onions and ground beef are cooking, add the chile powder, cumin, sugar, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir until well combined and let cook until the beef is browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and stir to combined for 2 minutes. Add the stock, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Add the drained beans and continue to simmer another 30 minutes. Remove the lid if you want a thicker chili.
