Dinner: Cheeseburger Chili

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds ground beef ( chuck for a more buttery flavored beef chili, sirloin for lean steak-like flavor)
3 tablespoons chili powder such as Gebhardt's Chili Powder, or ancho chile powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cups beef stock
1/2 cup organic ketchup, such as Heinz
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup yellow mustard, such as Ploughman's or French's
Hot sauce
One 14-ounce can red kidney beans, drained

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry and add to the hot oil. Brown and crumble the meat until it is evenly caramelized. Add the chili powder and some salt and pepper. Stir. Add the garlic and onions; cook to soften, 7 to 8 minutes. Then add the beef stock, ketchup, Worcestershire, mustard and hot sauce, to taste. Stir in the beans and reduce the heat to keep the chili at a simmer. Cook to thicken, partially covered, about 20 minutes. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat. Stir frequently.
