Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if needed.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and black beans. Stir well.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, topped with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or cilantro. Enjoy!
