Chili and Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Once the chili is thickened, stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls, top with remaining cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with chopped green onions as desired.
