Chili Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, 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 soft and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and water or broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a richer flavor, simmer for longer if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
