Step 1

Start by dicing the onion and bell pepper. Drain all canned items, except for the diced tomatoes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon to prevent clumping. When the beef is nearly cooked through and only a little pink remains, season with half of the salt and pepper. Stir in some chopped onion for flavor; this step will help infuse the beef with a richer taste. Once the beef is fully browned, set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet or in a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onion and bell pepper, along with all the remaining spices. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the bell pepper is tender.

Step 4

Once the vegetables are ready, add the cooked beef, beans, corn, green beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and broth to the pot. Stir well to combine. If you prefer a thinner chili, you can add more broth at this stage. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Top with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and oyster crackers. Enjoy!
