Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
Add the red kidney beans, black beans, green bell pepper, jalapeños, and brown sugar. Mix everything thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
