In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, start by adding a combination of ground meats, letting them cook and break apart as they brown. The meat will release its rich juices and begin to develop a deep, hearty flavor as it cooks. Once the meat is halfway browned, add chopped onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños, stirring them into the mixture. As they soften and meld with the meat, they’ll release a savory aroma, adding layers of flavor and a touch of spice.
When the meat is fully browned and the vegetables are tender, add minced garlic, stirring for about a minute until it’s fragrant. Then, create a small well in the center of the pot and add tomato paste and beef bouillon, if using. Allow the tomato paste to cook for about 2 minutes, enhancing its flavor as it toasts slightly. Next, add fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth (or water), stirring everything together to create a rich, flavorful base.
Cover the pot and let the chili simmer on low heat for approximately 2 hours. Stir occasionally, allowing the ingredients to fully combine and the flavors to develop into a thick, satisfying chili. Once it reaches your desired thickness and the flavors have fully developed, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. This chili is now ready to serve, with a rich, meaty texture and a deep, smoky flavor that’s perfect for a cozy meal.
