Cooking Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
