Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Tomato paste
- 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 2 cups Beef broth (low sodium, no sugar added)
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp Chili powder
- 1.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Brown the ground beef in the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Push the beef to one side of the pot. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the other side. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Create a small well in the center of the pot and add the tomato paste. Stir and cook the paste for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly mix the spices.
Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid and taste-test the chili. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to thicken.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced green onions if desired.
