HUGE POT of Chilli At Home

Hot sauce, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Step by Step:
In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s no longer pink. If using turkey or chicken, ensure it’s fully cooked through as well. Drain any excess grease from the pot.
Stir in the chopped bell peppers, onions, and jalapenos. Cook the vegetables on low heat until they soften and become tender, releasing their enticing aromas.
Now, it’s time to introduce the star ingredients that will infuse the chili with rich flavors. Add the canned beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin powder, and the fresh cilantro into the pot. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Allow the chili to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and creates a hearty, thick texture. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and for those craving an extra kick, serve with hot sauce on the side
