Instructions
1
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef, diced onion, and diced sweet pepper. Sauté until the beef is browned and fully cooked, and the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2
Stir in the chili powder and ground cumin, mixing well to coat the beef and vegetables with the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
3
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and frozen corn. Stir until well combined.
4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer warm nachos. Arrange your nacho chips on a large serving platter an inch apart from each other.
6
Once the chili is ready, spoon a generous amount over the nachos. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and place in the oven to melt the cheese for about 5-7 minutes.
7
Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Ultimate Beef Chili Nachos Supreme!
