How to Make One Hour Chili

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, and carrots. Sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot. Brown and stir to break up the meat, cooking until all pink is gone.
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans, pinto beans, tomato soup, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and water.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add hot sauce for extra heat, if desired.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped white onion, cilantro, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
