Instructions

In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Add onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, or green onions.

Notes

Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

Add extra veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes.

Use black beans or white beans instead of pinto or kidney beans.

For more heat, add chipotle chili powder or adobo sauce.

Great with cornbread, rice, tortilla chips, or over baked potatoes.
