Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium jalapeño, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, green bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix to combine.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, ensuring the spices coat the mixture evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the chilli simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced zucchini to the pot, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
