WHERE TO BUY BRICK CHILI RECIPES

Steps:

• Saute hamburger, green pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and jalapenos in a pan. Add 1 teaspoon (each) of salt and garlic powder. Add 1/2 tsp black pepper.
• Drain the grease.
• Into a large stockpot or Crock Pot, add the sauteed hamburger meat. Then add the rest of the ingredients.
• Stir all and bring just to a low simmer. Reduce heat and cook for at least 1 1/2 hours on low. Stir gently and occasionally. You can do this on the stove or in a large Crock Pot. Either way works.
• Thick, rich, and slightly sweet/slightly hot chili! Very unique! Enjoy!! :D

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook until vegetables are just tender and browned in spots, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, oregano and cumin, then continue to cook until fragrant and brick-red in color, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, beans (and their liquid), lentils, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Bring to a steady simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover with a lid and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the chili has thickened slightly, 35 to 45 minutes.  
• Remove the bay leaf and stir in the vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve with toppings as desired.
