Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 15 ounces kidney beans (canned), drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces black beans (canned), drained and rinsed

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Step 3
Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, and tomato sauce.
Step 6
Season the chili with chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
If the chili looks too thick, stir in up to 1/2 cup of water or beef stock to reach your desired consistency.
Step 8
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm in bowls with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or crushed tortilla chips.
