Key Equipment
Before You Begin
Use the lesser amount of chipotle chile if you prefer a milder level of spiciness. Load up the chili with all your favorite toppings for serving.
Instructions
1.
Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions, bell peppers, garlic, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
2.
Stir in ground meat and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until firm crumbles form, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, tomatoes and reserved juice, tomato sauce, and water. Scrape up browned bits on bottom of pot using metal spatula or wooden spoon.
3.
Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to low and simmer until chili is slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
