Method

Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
2
Add ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, stirring frequently.
8 minutes
3
Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
4
Drain the liquid from all three cans of beans—red kidney beans, lima beans or butter beans, and Great Northern beans—and add the drained beans to the pot.
5
Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, chili sauce or catsup, oregano, chili powder, and salt; stir until all ingredients are well combined.
6
Bring the chili to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
20 minutes
7
Taste the chili and adjust seasonings with additional chili powder, oregano, or salt as needed for desired heat and flavor depth.
