Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, and water or broth. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
