Mix in chopped green bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Stir well so the meat and veggies get full flavor.

Once everything is combined, bring it to a boil. Then lower heat, cover, and let it cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir now and then so nothing sticks and flavors mix well.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a big pot over medium. Throw in chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook about 5 minutes until onion turns clear.
05 -
Pour in diced tomatoes with juice, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix everything up.

Taste and add salt and black pepper. Add more cayenne if you want it spicier.

Serve warm. If you want, add shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced green onions, or cilantro on top.
