Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 28 ounces Diced tomatoes, canned
- 15 ounces Kidney beans, canned
- 15 ounces Black beans, canned
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), canned kidney beans, canned black beans, and beef broth. Stir everything together until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the chili for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
