Chili Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

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

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and jalapeño (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheese and sour cream before serving.
