How to Make Award Winning Texas Chili

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) over medium-high heat. Break up the beef as it cooks.
Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed).
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld!
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Consider adding a dash of chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
