A pot filled with chili and beans on top of a table ### Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bell peppers, diced (any color)
1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1-2 tablespoons chili powder (to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup beef or vegetable broth
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Taste before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, topped with your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.

Enjoy this comforting and hearty chili recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. Make it ahead of time and let the flavors develop further, or enjoy it fresh off the stove. Either way, it’s sure to impress!
