Gather Your Ingredients
To bring this spicy goodness to life, you’ll need the following ingredients. Grab a shopping cart and let’s fill it up!
- 2 pounds ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green – your call!)
- 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (or more if you want it spicy!)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or some crunchy tortilla chips
Time to Cook!
Now that you’ve got your ingredients, it’s time to unleash your inner chef and dive into the cooking process. Follow these easy steps:
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain the fat if you’re feeling healthy (but, come on, it’s chili!).
- Add in the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good mix!
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes. The longer you let it sit, the better the flavors meld together. Pro tip: the next day, leftovers taste even better!
- When ready to serve, ladle that spicy magic into bowls and top with your choice of shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or just dive in solo if you’re feeling wild.
Voilà! You’ve just made a bowl of spicy touchdown chili that could win a culinary MVP award. Now, put your feet up, grab a big bowl of this deliciousness, and enjoy the accolades from your friends and family. Who knew you were such a star in the kitchen?
