Heartwarming Chili

Heartwarming Chili
1lb hamburger
1 small yellow onion; chopped
1 yellow bell pepper; seeded and chopped
1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2-3 Tablespoons chili powder (if you don’t like a lot of spice, only go with the 2 Tabl.)
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon dried oregano leaves
½ teaspoon roasted pepper seasoning
1 can (14oz) petite diced tomatoes
1 can (14oz) fired roasted tomatoes
1 ½ - 2 cans beef broth
¼ cup A-1 steak sauce
1 can black beans; drained and rinsed

In an 8qt stockpot brown hamburger. Season with salt and pepper. Add diced yellow onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook 5 minutes. Add everything but the black beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-4 hours (may need more liquid if you chose to let it cook for 4 hours. The sauce will reduce down and thicken the chili over time), uncovered, so the aroma can fill the house. ½ hour before serving add the black beans. *Allow black beans to simmer in chili at least ½ hour before you serve* Stir occasionally. Leftovers are perfect as the flavors mellow overnight! Serve with grated cheese and sour cream. Great with cornbread~
