Directions

In a nonstick pan, cook ground beef on medium heat and add half of the minced garlic. Browning a pound of ground beef on most stovetops should take approximately 7 to 10 minutes. It's important to continue stirring and breaking the pieces into the same size with the wooden spoon or heatproof spatula so the ground beef cooks evenly. (To eliminate excess fat, put cooked meat into a colander and rinse it with hot water.)
Add the remaining garlic, yellow onion, celery, and green pepper to the beef in the pan and cook for 7-10 minutes on medium heat (until onions are translucent)
Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, add salsa, chili powder, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper, and simmer slowly until the liquid is reduced. Add water as needed to thin out chili if preferred
Serve with chopped green onion and tomato garnish. Add an extra kick with ground cayenne pepper to taste

I did 1/2 burger and 1/4 of everything else and added 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast and added a lot of flavor.

I omitted the salsa, used 2 pounds of beef and still had a very watery chili that had to reduce for quite a while, so recommend reducing the liquid. The flavor was also somewhat lacking – taco seasoning might do better. The chili powder alone is not enough to carry it as the primary spice.

The ingredient proportions are definitely off here. I made it with 1 lb meat because 2 seemed too much for 4 servings. The addition of 16 oz salsa and 2 c beef broth have made a very thin soup. Not sure what to recommend here except to add another lb of meat for a thicker product.

large tomato is listed twice, how many tomatoes?
