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

2. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

4. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

5. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and intensify their flavors.

6. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, canned kidney beans, and canned black beans. Stir well to combine.

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

8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, chili powder, or cayenne pepper to suit your heat preference.

9. Serve the chili hot in bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions if desired.
