Begin by placing a large pot on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of Wegmans Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Swirl it around until it's hot, not smoking. This will be the base that flavors your entire chili.

Next, toss in the two containers of pre-chopped onions and the package of diced peppers and onions. Stir them around for about 5-7 minutes. You want them soft and fragrant. This step brings a lovely aroma to your kitchen and sets the stage for all that wonderful flavor.

Now, it’s time to add the minced garlic. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes. Garlic tends to brown quickly, and you want it fragrant but not burnt.

Add the 3 pounds of ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. You want to ensure it gets nice and browned, and if you’re anything like me, you'll enjoy the sound of sizzling beef. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

Once the meat is browned, sprinkle in your salt, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, chili spice blend, oregano flakes, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine everything. Allow the spices to roast for a minute or two, letting their flavors meld together.

Add the rinsed kidney and cannellini beans into the pot. Follow it by pouring in the chili sauce and the beef bone broth. This combination will create that comforting, warming texture we love in chili.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-45 minutes. If your kitchen smells amazing, you’re doing it right! Stir occasionally, letting all the flavors meld together.

After the simmering time, taste your chili. Adjust salt or spices as desired. Maybe it needs extra heat or a dash more salt. Here’s your chance to customize!
