Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the ground beef. Cook the beef for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned.
Drain any excess grease from the pot if needed.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and tomato paste.
Pour in the beef broth, then add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
