Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.

    Stir in the chopped bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Adding Beans and Tomatoes

    Add the drained kidney beans and black beans to the pot, stirring well to combine.

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, mixing thoroughly.

Incorporating Spices

  1. 6

    Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper over the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 7

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 8

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and diced avocado, if desired.
