Follow these simple steps to prepare your Beef Chili:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

8. Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste the chili. Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or chili powder for extra heat.
9. Serve: Once the chili has thickened and flavors have melded, remove it from heat and prepare to serve.
