A hearty and flavorful One-Pot Beef and Vegetable Chili combining ground beef, beans, and vegetables simmered with chili spices for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)

Spices

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat and brown: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the onion has softened, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add vegetables and spices: Stir in diced bell pepper, kidney beans, black beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add corn and cook: Stir in the corn and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  5. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños along with the spices.
  • Use fresh corn if available; just cook it slightly before adding to the chili.
  • To make this recipe gluten free, ensure canned beans and spices have no gluten-containing additives.
  • Leftover chili can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For added texture, top with shredded cheese or sour cream if desired.
