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

2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

4. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

6. Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, and beef stock to the pot, stirring to combine.

7. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

9. Add the canned corn and stir to combine. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to allow the chili to thicken slightly.
