Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Dice the green bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, combine the cooked ground beef, chili mix, Rotel tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and pinto beans.
-
Bring to a Boil: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Sauté Aromatics: While the chili mixture is coming to a boil, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil, then sauté the diced green bell pepper, onion, and garlic until they are softened and fragrant.
-
Incorporate Aromatics: Once the chili mixture reaches a boil, add the sautéed bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the pot, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot (vent the lid slightly), and let the chili simmer for a minimum of 1 hour.
-
Enhance Flavor: Remember, the longer the chili simmers, the better the flavors will meld together, so feel free to let it simmer for longer if time allows.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chili has reached its desired level of flavor, serve it piping hot. Some delightful accompaniments include shredded American cheese and crispy corn chips.
-
Leftovers: This chili makes for fantastic leftovers, as the flavors continue to develop and intensify over time. Store any extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.
