Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef, stirring it constantly to break it up.

Meanwhile, in a soup pot, heat the oil and cook the bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper, stirring often, for 15 minutes.

Add the cumin, oregano, garlic, tomatoes, dried chilies, and water. With a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to the pot. Bring the chili to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for 1 hour. Add more water during cooking if the pan seems dry.

Add beans and re-cover the pan. Continue cooking for 30 minutes (1 1/2 hours total cooking time). Taste for seasoning, add more salt and pepper, if you like, and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with scallions and parsley before serving.
