Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Drain and rinse the kidney beans, then add them to the pot.
Add the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chilli simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the chilli just before serving.
Serve the beef mince chilli hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy with rice, bread, or tortilla chips.
