Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cans 14.5 ounces each diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can 16 ounces kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Crumble the beef as it cooks. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onions until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Stir in the chopped green bell pepper, salt, chili powder, bouillon granules, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring until everything is well combined.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and the browned beef back into the pot. Stir in the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Add the kidney beans and cook until heated through. Serve topped with sour cream and jalapeño slices, if desired.
