Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 15 ounces Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 6

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and cooked ground beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the kidney beans and black beans to the pot, along with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spices as needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions, if desired.
