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.
Enjoy!

Sounds like my kind of chili! I always like chili with a special little kick and the roasted red peppers would do just that.

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!
