Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan.

Add 2 large chopped onions, bell peppers, and crushed garlic to the pan and fry gently until soft.

Once the onions and peppers are soft and translucent, add minced meat and brown it.

After browning the meat, add beef stock, canned tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, and red kidney beans to the pan.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper and mix well.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 1 hour.

After an hour, check if the sauce has thickened; if it's watery, uncover and cook for another 5-10 minutes until thickened.

Serve the chili con carne in a bowl, optionally sprinkle with parsley, and enjoy with Mexican tortillas and green peppers.
