Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Pour in the water or beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the chili and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you prefer a thicker chili, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes.
