Directions
-
Heat a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, and finely chopped green pepper.
-
Cook, stirring frequently to break up the meat into small crumbles, until the onion is soft and the meat has lost its pink color. Drain any excess grease if desired.
-
Stir in 4 tablespoons of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
-
Add 1/2 cup water, one 16-ounce can of crushed tomatoes (with liquid), and one 16-ounce can of red kidney beans (with liquid).
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
-
Simmer the chili for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allowing flavors to meld.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or chili powder if desired. Serve hot.
