Method

Chili Con Carne Directions

Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper, and set aside.

Cook the Meat

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Sauté Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Add Remaining Ingredients

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and Adjust

Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or chili powder as needed.

Serve

Serve hot with cornbread on the side.
