A comforting and flavorful chili recipe perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the pot and sauté until tender.
Cook the vegetables until they are soft and aromatic for the best flavor.
Stir in the kidney beans, tomato puree, salsa, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and water.
Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to develop the flavors.
Serve the chili in bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or chopped onions.
Serve with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
