Instructions

1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. 2 Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. 3 Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped green bell pepper to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

5. 5 Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine.

7. 7 Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, let the chili simmer longer for richer flavor.
8. 8 Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.
