Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, cornbread

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and beef broth.
  5. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. 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 the flavors will meld.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño with the bell peppers.
  • This chili freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • You can easily prepare this chili as part of your meal planning for the week.
