Dr Pepper -Inspired Chili

Dr. Pepper -Inspired Chili

I created this recipe to fuse my family’s two favorite things together: chili and Dr Pepper®. This is perfect for a busy family to make.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 cup onions, diced
• ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup chicken broth
• One 12-ounce can of Dr. Pepper®
• One 14-ounce can of fire-roasted tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• One 15-ounce can of kidney beans
• Garnishes: sour cream, red onion, cilantro

Directions

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Break the beef down with a wooden spoon as it browns until half-cooked.

Add the onion and bell pepper and continue to stir until the vegetables are softened. Strain out any excess grease.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic powder, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.

Add the chicken broth, Dr. Pepper®, tomatoes, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and simmer for 20–30 minutes, or until chili has the desired thickness.

In the end, add the kidney beans.

Serve with sour cream, red onion, and cilantro.
