Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary, then set the beef aside on a plate.
In the same pot, add the smoked sausage slices and cook until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the ground beef.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and incorporate the flavors.
Return the ground beef and sausage to the pot. Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spices if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy this hearty meal with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
