Preparation Steps

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Optional toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
