Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Beef (5 minutes)
In a large Dutch oven over high heat, add the ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is no longer pink in the center.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables (5 minutes)
Add the chopped onions and red bell peppers to the pot. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften and the beef is fully browned.

Step 3: Remove Extra Fat (optional)
If you prefer a leaner dish, carefully drain off the excess grease using a mesh strainer, then return the mixture to the pot.

Step 4: Combine the Canned Ingredients
Stir in the stewed tomatoes (with juice), kidney beans (with liquid), tomato sauce, and the drained pineapple chunks.

Step 5: Add Seasonings
Sprinkle in the chili powder and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the chili.

Step 6: Simmer (10 minutes)
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Let the chili simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens to your liking.

Step 7: Ready to Serve
Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Top with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
