- Finely dice one large onion and chop two medium-sized tomatoes. Mince four cloves of fresh garlic and slice a medium green chili pepper. Drain and rinse the beans.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced green chili. Sauté for about 2 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add one pound of ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons of chili seasoning and 1 tablespoon of dried oregano. Continue to sauté for about 1 minute.
- Add 1 can of chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 15 oz of tomato sauce. Stir well, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Uncover and fold in the drained red kidney beans and black beans. Simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Check the consistency and adjust if necessary with broth or water. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Prepare your favorite toppings.

Notes
Allowing the chili to rest helps the flavors to meld beautifully. Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
