Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Brown the Meat
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Simmer the Mixture
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Serve and Top
Once the mixture is ready, serve it hot in bowls, and top with shredded cheese. Allow the cheese to melt slightly before serving.
