In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.

Cover the pot and let the chili simmer over low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
