Chili Ingredients

Method

Chili Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or chili powder as desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings like cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
