Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients needed for the chili. Dice the onion and green bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot with the browned meat. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices, and add the kidney beans and black beans. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Simmer the Chili

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

  7. 7

    Serve the Chili

    Once the chili has thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.
