Jamaican Jerk Beef Chili step by step

1. I like to mise en place my ingredients before I begin cooking; makes it easier, and less likely I'll forget something. Took me about 40 minutes to prep. I mince the onion, bell pepper and jalapeño (jarred) very small for better distribution in the chili. And because my sister and I don't care for the texture of tomatoes, I puree them with an immersion blender before adding..
2. In large soup pot over medium-high heat, cook the hamburger and onion, breaking up the hamburger. When meat is no longer pink, stir in the bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Let cook 5 minutes..
3. Stir in remaining ingredients, mixing well. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes..
4. Serve hot with desired garnishes..

Season with cumin, paprika, chile powder, sugar, salt, and cloves. Directions Heat a deep, large skillet or a pot over high heat. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker as well as a bit more jerk dry seasoning and mix well. Serve with noodles, Fritos, or cornbread and cheese. Really so many ways to use it.
