Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)

- 15 ounces canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 15 ounces canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup beef broth

Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once hot, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
Serve hot in bowls with your choice of optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or diced green onions.
