  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by washing and chopping all vegetables. Cut onions, peppers, and garlic into small pieces. This makes cooking faster and easier. Keep all ingredients ready before you start cooking.

Cook the Base

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until soft and light golden. This creates a flavorful base for the dish.

Add Minced Beef

  • Add minced beef to the pot. Cook until it turns brown. Stir well to break up the meat. Make sure there are no pink parts left.

Add Spices

  • Now add cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well. The spices will give the dish its rich and deep flavor.

Add Vegetables and Tomatoes

  • Add chopped peppers, tomato paste, and canned tomatoes. Mix everything together. Let it cook for a few minutes so flavors blend well.

Add Beans and Stock

  • Add kidney beans and beef stock. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer slowly. This helps all flavors come together.

Slow Cook the Chilli

  • Let the chilli cook on low heat for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally so it does not stick. The sauce will become thick and rich.

Final Taste and Serve

  • Taste and adjust salt or spice if needed. Serve hot in bowls. You can add rice, bread, or toppings for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Add dark chocolate for deeper flavor
  • Use turkey mince for a lighter version
  • Add extra beans for more texture
  • Increase chili for extra heat
  • Cook slowly for richer taste
