📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

4. Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Mix in the tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the meat and vegetables evenly with spices.

6. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, black beans, kidney beans, and corn (if using). Stir to combine.

7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the chili cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.

9. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
