Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and jalapeño pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Brown the Ground Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, and jalapeño pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

    Add Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 5

    Combine Canned Goods

    Simmer the Chile

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld.
