Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Chop the onion and bell pepper into small, even pieces.

In a large oven-safe skillet or pot, brown the lean ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
4
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
5
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
6
Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (undrained). Bring to a simmer.
7
Add the drained and rinsed black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Cover the skillet (if oven-safe and has a lid, otherwise transfer to a casserole dish) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbling and heated through.
9
Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
