Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Shredded cheese (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, topped with optional shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the chili to simmer longer and adjust seasoning to taste.
