My grandson, Scott, has asked me to teach him to cook. He especially likes Chili and he is very health conscious.
I adapted this recipe to keep it simple - not too many or hard to get ingredients.

How to Make Scott's Three Bean Chili

Step-by-Step

Heat the oil in large pot or Dutch oven over moderate heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and carrots, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the meat is no longer pink. Stir in the tomatoes, water, chili powder and red pepper flakes, oregano and salt and pepper. Lower heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring from time to time, for 30 minutes.
Stir in the beans and continue cooking, partially covered, 20 minutes longer. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
