Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onions and bell peppers and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes.
Add the beef and a couple of pinches each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until it loses its pink color, 6 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and beans with their juice. Add the dry chilies and bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Ladle the chili into bowls. Serve with steamed white rice or topped with Fritos and grated Cheddar and accompanied by cornbread.
