Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes, undrained
• 15 ounces canned red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and crumble the ground beef.

Step 2

Cook the ground beef, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, kidney beans, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or spices to preference.

Step 8

Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
