Classic Comfort Chili

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or chili powder according to your preference.

Serve hot, garnished with cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.
