2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1lb lean ground beef (try chicken or turkey for a lighter chili)
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp ground coriander
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cans mixed beans, rinsed and drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef broth

Directions:

1.In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion, celery and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about five minutes.

2.Add garlic and sauté for another minute.

3.Add ground beef and break it into pieces. Cook the beef until no pink remains.

4.Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, ground coriander, and oregano. Cook for one minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.

5.Add beans, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Once the chili is boiling, cover and reduce the heat the low.

6.Simmer the chili for at least a half an hour or up to two hours, stirring every fifteen minutes or so to prevent it from sticking.

Enjoy!
