How to Make Greg's Monterey Jack

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color) in a medium frying pan with 2 tablespoons butter until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove excess grease by tilting the pan and blotting with a paper towel.
  4. In a large saucepan, combine the cooked ground beef mixture with 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can stewed tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
  5. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  6. Ladle chili into bowls.
  7. Top each serving generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a pinch of paprika, and a dollop of sour cream (optional). Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side salad.
