Early last week, I made a big pot of chili for dinner and leftovers were enjoyed almost nightly in our house throughout the remainder of the week. We never got sick of the rich flavors and delicious combination of spices, beans and vegetables and I’m already planning to prepare another batch when I’m back in Ocala next week.
This chili was easy to make but felt a little special since it incorporated an entire jar of roasted red peppers. The chopped peppers almost disintegrate into the chili, but their flavor shines through!

Description
This chili was easy to make but felt a little special since it incorporated an entire jar of roasted red peppers. The chopped peppers almost disintegrate into the chili, but their flavor shines through!
Ingredients
- 1 (24-ounce) jar of roasted red peppers
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or slightly less)
- 1 can reduced-sodium black beans, drained
- 1 can reduced-sodium kidney beans, drained
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (undrained)
- 2 (8-ounce) cans no-salt-added tomato sauce
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- Optional toppers: Avocado, cheese, sour cream, plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray (or drizzle with olive oil) and place red peppers through garlic power in the pot. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, until the onions are tender.
- Add lean ground beef, cooking for an additional 6 minutes, allowing the meat to crumble and turn brown.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 15 minute to two hours. (The longer it simmers, the more the flavors develop!)
- Spoon into bowls, top with desired toppings and enjoy.

Adding roasted red peppers? I’m sold. Making this next week!
Sounds like my kind of chili! I always like chili with a special little kick and the roasted red peppers would do just that.
Recently I made chili with adobe chiles and it was delicious! Cleared my sinuses right up!
Mmm sounds amazing! Definitely want to make this.
Yum! My fireplace & I have a date with this chili sometime soon 🙂
I love the idea of adding roasted red peppers to chili! I’ve never done that before. We must be thinking alike…. I was just thinking about making my white chicken chili. 😉
That looks great! I have been moving towards crockpots as it gets colder, chili will probably be happening this weekend!
Yum! Sounds perfect.
Now that it’s finally NOT freezing in Denver I REALLY want to make this recipe!
Good thing I’m SURE it’ll be cold enough in a week or two and I will absolutely be looking to break out this one!
Love chili! I’d add soft tofu to this for a vegetarian version!
That looks so so good. I wish my digestion did better with legumes but every time I eat them I always get stomach pains so have now started to avoid them which is a shame as they are so yummy!!
One pot meals are the best when its cold. I love the idea of adding avo on the top. Yum.
That looks delicious! Comfort in a bowl!
I love chilis, casseroles & soups during this time of year!
I made a big pot of chili with my mom yesterday afternoon. It is one of my very favorite meals, and we make it about every other week. We really never tire of eating it. Yum! It’s crazy that you posted your recipe for chili today, because I am working on getting my pictures together so I can post mine! I love the idea of adding roasted red peppers, I want to try that next time. As always, thanks for sharing!
May God bless you exceedingly and abundantly now and forever!

I have chili cooking in the crock pot right now! The house smells amazing and I can’t wait for my husband to get home so we can dig in! With it getting so cold up here in Wisconsin, chili becomes a go-to meal.
I love chili this sounds Delish!
I usually add a can of my mom-in-law’s homemade salsa which has quite the kick to it, but adding avocado, this might just change my world!
What a fantastic idea! My plan is to make vegan mushroom chili tonight- wishing I had roasted red pepper now! 🙂
YUM! I never thought of adding roasted red peppers to chili. Delicious!!
cold weather soups and chilis go hand in hand! Roasted red peppers sound so good right now!
This looks so good! And just in time for the chilly weather!
We have Chili theme week at our house too.
Frito Chili Pies
Chili Cheese baked potatoes
Chili Cheese topped over bean and cheese burritos
Frito pies are the best.. Not a lot of people know what they are up east.

Love the addition of the roasted peppers!
Yum! This looks like the perfect, hearty meal for a chilly day. I love roasted red peppers—what a great idea to put them into chili!
I think avocado on chili is the most underrated food combo. The best!
This chili looks and sounds delicious! I love eating chili for dinner when it’s cold out. It’s so comforting 🙂
Looks soooo good! I love roasted red pepper soup, so I’m sure I’d love the addition to chili…and I would have to add some noodles! Chile mac is just the best!!!
Okay, before I never knew that stores sold jars of roasted red peppers. But now I feel like I need to have them so I can put them in everything :D!
This is the perfect recipe this week with how cold it is throughout much of the country. I just can’t seem to get warm. Bring on the chili!
Oooo this looks so good, cant wait to try it.
It’s getting a lot colder here in Chicago (snow!) so I think chili is going to have to happen soon!
Yay! You should post more dinner ideas – we always get to see your breakfasts and lunches, but not so often dinner. Keep em coming 🙂
Love chili in the winter!

I made this chili last night and had to tell you thank you! My husband and I LOVED it! (and we are VERY picky chili eaters!)
My guy and I made this the other night, started a fire in our fire pit outside and had our nice cozy chilly outside! Delicious recipe! Thanks, Sheree
Mmmm this looks so tasty! I am a huge chili fan, but have never added roasted red peppers. Will definitely have to try it out!
