Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Seasonings

    Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

  4. 4

    Mix in Beans and Tomatoes

    Add the kidney beans, black beans, and diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Beef Broth

    Pour in the beef broth and stir everything together. Bring the chili to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop flavors.

Serving
