Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with grated cheese and sliced green onions before serving.
