Homemade Chili Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Brown the Beef

   Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. 3

   Add the Remaining Ingredients

   Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4. 4

   Simmer the Chili

   Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For best flavor, simmer for up to 1 hour.

5. 5

   Serve and Top

   Ladle the chili into bowls and top with diced onions and cheddar cheese as desired.
