How to Make 30 Minute Chili
- Heat a large 5-quart Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (approximately 5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add the rinsed and drained pinto beans, beef broth, and crushed tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese before serving.
