Perfect for a party! Just leave the chili pot over low heat and offer a variety of toppings on the side to garnish in whatever way suits your style: fresh cilantro leaves, sliced scallions, reduced-fat sour cream, low-fat shredded Cheddar, sliced black olives and chopped fresh jalapeños. You can also serve this chili over rice, a bed of shredded cabbage, or cauliflower rice if you wish. Or make use as you would taco meat in a wrap: Just spoon it on a tortilla or in an iceberg lettuce leaf using a slotted spoon. Top with your choice of toppings and fold it or roll it to enjoy with no utensils required.

Instructions
1
Coat a large stockpot with cooking spray; set it over medium-high heat. Add the beef; cook until it's browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot; set aside.
2
Add oil to the pot; set over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion, celery, garlic, and jalapeño; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved beef, chili powder, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and red pepper flakes; stir to coat the vegetables and the beef with spices.
3
Add the tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. To serve, discard the bay leaves, ladle the chili into bowls, and top with chopped shallots.
