Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium high heat, add the oil to the pan. Cook the onions and bell peppers for 5-7 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring often to not burn the garlic.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until the beef crumbles and no pink remains.
  • Add the tomato sauce, beans, spices and water. Stir to combine.
  • Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Serve with diced avocado and green onion.

Notes

I like my chili beefy and chunky. You can easily add more tomato sauce or diced tomatoes if you're more of a saucy person.
