Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare to Serve

    Once the chili is done simmering, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each serving with a generous portion of shredded cheese and serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
