- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, coating the beef evenly with the spices.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and mix well, cooking for 1 minute.
Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips if desired.
