Description

A thick and robust chili that warms you up with bold flavors and tender beef, perfect for cozy nights or festive gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 1 bell pepper (chopped)

  • 1 can kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s as rich as a movie star. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers, and sauté until they’re soft and aromatic — about 5 minutes.
  3. Add in the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir it all together.
  5. Let the magic happen! Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve it up!

Notes

Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños. Pairs well with crusty bread or crispy tortilla chips.
