INGREDIENTS
Prep the veggies. Add half of the salt & pepper and combine with the ground beef.
In a big pot, heat some oil on medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until the ground beef turns brown. Use a wooden spoon to break it into smaller pieces as it cooks. If needed, you can drain excess fat.
Now, mix in the broth, kidney beans, brown basmati rice, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, and chile peppers in the same pot with the meat.
Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover it and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes until it's the thickness you like.
Garnish with Cheddar cheese and enjoy!
