A classic of American Tex-Mex cooking, chili con carne is ground beef simmered with red beans in a spiced tomato sauce. Hearty and budget-friendly, it is a favorite one-pot meal for cold weather.
Cook the onion and garlic in oil over medium heat for 6 minutes. Add the ground beef, break it up, and cook for 8 more minutes.
Add the bell pepper, cumin, and Turkish red pepper flakes, and cook for 4 minutes.
Add the tomato, tomato paste, and water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Add the beans and cook for 10–12 minutes more. Season with salt to taste.
Serve hot with rice or bread.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; the flavor deepens by the next day. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
