Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef lean
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 can 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced bell pepper, kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together and the chili has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, avocado slices, or cilantro.
  • Enjoy this classic beef chili with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, rice, or tortilla chips.
