Description

Why not try a new recipe for your chili? It has many of the same ingredients but has some of the classic flavors that make Philly Cheesesteak so good.

Ingredients

• 2 lb. ground beef
• 4 T. unsalted butter, divided
• 2 yellow onions, chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1 t. kosher salt
• 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 29 oz. pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
• 1/4 c. tomato paste
• 3 T. chili powder
• 4 c. beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 8 oz. cubed Velveeta cheese, for serving

Steps

1. In a large pot over medium heat, add half of the butter and the ground beef; break meat into large chunks to keep the crumbles bigger and meatier, cooking until there is a good sear on the beef and it's a nice golden brown. Don't stir too often!
2. Discard excess grease; remove beef. Add in the remaining butter along with onions, bell peppers, salt and pepper; cook until onions are softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add chili beans, mushrooms, tomato paste, chili powder, beef stock and Worcestershire sauce; stir well; transfer meat back in; stir well. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer/low heat; cook for 25 minutes.
