Chili Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Add the water or broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in cups or bowls.
