- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook and crumble it with a wooden spoon, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen their flavor.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, black beans, kidney beans, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
Bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or spices as needed.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Add shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
