Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
  • 3–4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, more chopped Reese’s Cups

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and onions.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add the peanut butter, mixing it thoroughly into the chili base until it melts and blends in.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, allowing them to melt slightly in the warm mixture.
  7. Add salt and pepper as desired. Adjust other seasonings if needed to suit your taste.
  8. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Allow it to cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Once the chili has thickened and flavors have melded together, it is ready to serve.
