Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the diced habanero peppers and red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir to combine.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix well.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
