Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Ground beef
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 medium Bell pepper, chopped
28 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
15 ounces Canned kidney beans
15 ounces Canned black beans
2 tablespoons Chili powder
1 tablespoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
2 cups Beef broth
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Optional toppings (sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions) as desired
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
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 deeper flavors, simmer for up to 1 hour.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
