Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with their juice)
- 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 assorted optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef (or ground turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Stir in the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Season with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a splash of broth if the chili is too thick for your liking.
Serve hot in bowls with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or chopped cilantro.
