Method

Preparing the Chili

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot with the ground beef. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix in the Remaining Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

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