Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Drain off excess fat using a colander, then return the beef to the pot.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
