How to Make Austin's Chili

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and green bell pepper; cook for another 3 minutes.
  4. Add the canned diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans, pinto beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Pour in the beef broth.
  6. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat or salt for more savory flavor.
  8. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped onions.
