- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and beef broth.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot in bowls, topped with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
