Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
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.
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.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
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.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and cooked ground beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the kidney beans and black beans to the pot, along with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spices as needed.
Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions, if desired.
