Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove the meat, drain excess fat if needed, and set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté the onion for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add the bell pepper and chili and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Return the beef to the pot. Add the spices, salt, pepper and tomato paste, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste and spices darken slightly.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, beans and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful. Add a splash of liquid if it gets too thick.
6. Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro, taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot.
