Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large bell peppers, chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped bell peppers, and cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook and stir until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 7-8 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, avocado, or tortilla chips.
