    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Beef

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

    Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then add the canned tomatoes (including juice) and drained kidney beans. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
