Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 packet chili seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili beans, and diced tomatoes and green chilies.
  4. Add the chili seasoning, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will become.
  6. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
