INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1st Step – Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- 2nd Step – Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3rd Step – Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
- 4th Step – Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), drained pineapple, kidney beans, and black beans to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- 5th Step – Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the flavors to meld together.
- 6th Step – Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or chili powder to suit your preference.
- 7th Step – Once the chili is ready, ladle it into bowls and top with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, or sour cream.
- 8th Step – Serve hot and enjoy the delicious fusion of sweet pineapple and spicy chili flavors!
