First you will want to start with a large pot to brown your hamburger. I love using my Le Creuset dutch oven for this and many other recipes. While it is an expensive piece of kitchen wear, you will not regret investing in a high quality enabled cast iron pot. If you want affordability without sacrificing quality, Lodge makes an excellent version.
Once the hamburger is browned, drain off any excess fat and toss in your diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté with the hamburger a few minutes on medium heat, long enough to start to soften the peppers and slightly brown the onion.
Then add in your canned beans and continue to stir until heated through. It is important to make sure your heat is not too high. Be sure to keep your heat low to medium as to not burn the beans or meat.
Next, add in your tomato juice followed by your seasonings. When I write “your seasonings”, I mean it's a lot about your personal taste. Start off with small amount of each: you can always add more but you can't take it away. We like the heat in our family so I tend to sprinkle more of the cayenne and red chili flakes starting off, but I still err on the lighter side otherwise I’ll end up with five alarm chili that no one can eat. Once you've added your seasoning, cover with a lid and simmer on medium low for 20 mins stirring occasionally. You want the seasoning to really affect your chili before deciding if more seasoning is needed.
