Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and water or beef broth. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the chili into bowls and enjoy! Optional toppings include cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
