Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 15 oz canned kidney beans
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 8 oz canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) sour cream
- 0.5 cup (optional, for garnish) sliced green onions
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Drain and rinse the kidney beans and black beans, then stir them into the pot.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the chili is too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the chili hot in bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions, if desired.
