Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and pork sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon.

  2. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Once the meat is browned, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 4

    Stir in Spices

    Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and drained kidney beans. Stir everything together.

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Spoon the chili into bowls and top with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and avocado if desired.
