Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sugar-free sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 0.25 tsp ground cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the sugar-free sweet chili sauce, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors and slightly thicken the chili.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
