Chili Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat and Onion

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and add the kidney beans. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy!
