Method

How to make Wegmans Chili Recipe

Step 1 — Brown the Beef

In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned.
Through caramelization, flavor is developed in this step.

Step 2 — Cook Aromatics

Add onions, peppers, and garlic.
Cook 3–5 minutes until softened.
Add Worcestershire sauce and cook 2–3 minutes.
This creates the savory backbone of the chili.

Step 3 — Bloom the Spices

Reduce the heat to medium.
Add chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
Cook for about 5 minutes.
Blooming spices release oils and deepen flavor.

Step 4 — Simmer the Chili

Reduce the heat to low and add:
Beans
Chili sauce
Beer or broth
Simmer 30–60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Longer simmer = thicker chili and stronger flavor.
