01 Step

Recipe View In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced bell pepper over medium heat. Stir frequently, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender (approximately 10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.

03 Step

Recipe View Bring the chili to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2-3 hours for a richer, more developed flavor. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

For a smoky depth, consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of smoked paprika along with the chili powder.
If you prefer a thicker chili, you can mash about 1 cup of the cooked pinto beans before adding them to the pot.
To tame the heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before mincing.
This chili freezes beautifully! Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It will keep for up to 3 months.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

    My family raved about this chili! The best part is how customizable it is. I added a little cocoa powder for extra richness and a touch of sweetness. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    I've made this chili several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy it throughout the week. The flavors really meld together over time.

    This chili is a weeknight winner! I love how easy it is to throw together, and the flavor is amazing. I added a can of drained corn for a little sweetness, and it was a hit!

    I followed this recipe exactly, and it was perfect. The heat level was just right, and the chili had a great depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

    Super easy and delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still amazing.
