'The Office' Chili Recipe from Brian Baumgartner aka Kevin Malone

Step 1

In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper and garlic in grapeseed oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add in the turkey or beef. Before the meat has completely cooked, add the tomato paste. Finish browning the meat completely.

Step 3

Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the beans and the cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes (or longer until the desired consistency is reached), stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add in the beans 20 minutes before serving (you can't add the beans in right away or they get mushy).

Step 5

Serve with sharp cheddar cheese.
