Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Drain the Beans

    Open the cans of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. Drain and rinse them under cold water.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

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

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Stir in Beans and Tomatoes

    Add the drained beans and canned diced tomatoes (with juices) to the pot. Mix well.

  4. 6

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Chili
