Preparation Steps

• In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
• Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the beef and sauté until softened.
• Transfer the beef mixture to a large pot. Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving.
