Ingrédients

1 red capsicum (bell pepper, diced)

1 lb / 500g beef mince / ground beef

3 tbsp tomato paste

800g / 28 oz can crushed tomato

14 oz / 420g can red kidney beans (, drained, or other beans)

2 beef bouillon cubes (, crumbled, Note 1)

1 1/2 tsp sugar (any type)

1/2 - 1 1/2 cups / 125 - 375 ml water

Salt and pepper

1 - 2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste, Note 2)

4 tsp paprika powder

5 tsp cumin powder

2 tsp garlic powder (or onion powder)

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp oregano

Rice, corn chips, tortillas (Note 5 for more)

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.

Turn heat up to high and add beef. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until mostly browned.

Add Chili Spice Mix. Cook until beef is browned all over. (This step helps release extra flavour from the spices)

Add remaining ingredients, with 1/2 cup of water for Quick Cook or 1 1/2 cups for Slow Cook. Bring to simmer, then adjust heat per step below:

Quick Cook - 20 to 40 minutes, uncovered, on medium low heat so it's bubbling gently; OR

Slow Cook - 1.5 hours to 2 hours, covered, on low heat so it's bubbling very gently. (Note 3 Slow Cooker)

Adjust salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

Serve over rice, or ladle into bowls and serve with corn chips or warm tortillas on the side with Toppings of choice (Note 6). See Note 7 for more serving options. My usual: Either over rice or with corn chips, always with sour cream, cheese and coriander.
