Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and green bell pepper to the pot with the ground beef. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Cooking the Chili

  1. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, and black beans. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine all the spices evenly.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 6
