– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

– 2 cups beef broth
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.

4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally. For richer flavors, let it simmer for up to 1-2 hours.
