Instructions

• Cook and stir beef, onion, and bell pepper in a large pot over medium heat until beef is browned and onion and pepper are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Stir in beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, jalapeños, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Bring to a slow boil, then cover and reduce the heat. Simmer chili, stirring occasionally so it does not stick, for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours; the longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
