Savory Beef Chili Delight

1.Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2.Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3.Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4.Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

5.Sprinkle in the chili powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.

6.Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the drained pinto beans. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

7.Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

8.Once the chili is thickened and flavors have melded, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

9.Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese and chopped green onions.
