How to Make Witay's World Famous Chili

Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), and salt. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and kidney beans. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili powder for heat, salt for saltiness, or sugar for sweetness.
Serve your chili hot, piled high on top of Fritos corn chips. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and your favorite chili toppings (e.g., sour cream, chopped onions, cilantro).
Enjoy your delicious and warming Witay's World Famous Chili Frito Pie!
