Transfer the browned meat to a large pot and drain excess grease.

Add canned stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and tomato paste to the pot.

Add a couple of cans of red kidney beans and pinto beans.

Pour in some water.

Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

Toss all ingredients together.

Cook on the stovetop for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning on the bottom.
