Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground venison or wild boar (or a mix of exotic meats)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Shredded cheese (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the onion, bell peppers, and mince the garlic. Finely chop the jalapeño peppers.
- Cook the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and venison (or wild boar). Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add Vegetables: Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion, red bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Season the Chili: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and coat the meat and vegetables.
- Add Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Simmer: Add the beef broth to the pot and bring the chili to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld together.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Serve: Ladle the Dragonbreath Chili into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the fiery kick!
This Dragonbreath Chili is not for the faint-hearted but promises a burst of flavor that any adventurer would relish. Perfect for those cold nights in Azeroth or as a hearty meal before heading into battle!
