Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the meat and 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. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add the remaining ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Simmer the chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toppings and Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare the toppings

  2. 5

    Serve the chili

    Ladle the chili into bowls. Top each serving with chopped onions and shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with a kaiser roll on the side.
