Robust Three-Bean Ground Beef Chili
  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the ground beef in the hot pot until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir the diced tomatoes, light red beans, dark red beans, black beans, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, and chili powder into the meat mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chili begins to thicken, about 1 hour. Season with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with Cheddar cheese.
