  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot with the ground beef and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans (rinsed and drained), chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning while the chili simmers.
  • For richer flavor, let it simmer longer.
  • Consider adding toppings such as shredded cheese or sour cream for extra flavor.
