- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Brown the meat
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and pork. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
Sauté the vegetables
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the spices
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Combine the ingredients
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced green chiles, beef broth, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the flavors have combined and the chili has thickened.
Serve
Serve hot, topped with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, or avocado.
Tips
Spice it up
If you like your chili spicy, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Make it vegetarian
Replace the ground beef and pork with a plant-based protein, such as crumbled tempeh or tofu.
Add a breakfast twist
Stir in some scrambled eggs or cooked bacon to give your chili a breakfast-inspired flavor.
Slow cooker option
For a hands-off approach, transfer the ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
