Chili Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes and Beans

    Stir in the diced tomatoes and kidney beans. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir until the spices are well distributed.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in the water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
