Quick and easy chili

My friend shared this chili recipe with me recently, and I am obsessed. I actually made it last night to take over to a friend who just had a baby. It is super healthy (about 300 calories per serving) and produces 4 servings. Yummy!!

• 12  ounces  95%-lean ground beef
• 1  medium  onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1  medium  green sweet pepper, chopped (3/4 cup)
• 2  cloves  garlic, minced
• 1  15-ounce can  no-salt added black beans, rinsed and drained or 1 3/4 cups cooked black beans
• 1  14.5-ounce can  no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1  cup  frozen whole kernel corn
• 1  8-ounce can  no-salt-added tomato sauce
• 1  tablespoon  canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 2  teaspoons  chili powder
• 1  teaspoon  dried oregano, crushed
• 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
•     Light sour cream, chopped avocado, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and/or lightly crushed baked tortilla chips (optional)

Directions

In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook ground beef, onion, sweet pepper, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender; drain fat.
