Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 1 medium, chopped bell pepper
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 15 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 15 oz, drained and rinsed canned black soybeans
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon, optional cayenne pepper
- 1 medium, juiced lime
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes or until onions become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute to let the spices bloom.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the drained and rinsed black soybeans to the pot.
Bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
