📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the ground beef (and ground pork, if using). Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.

5. Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

6. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.

7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid, and cook on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Add the kidney beans and black beans to the pot. Simmer uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chili thickens to your desired consistency.

9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or cayenne pepper if needed.

10. Serve hot with garnishes such as sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions. Pair with tortilla chips if desired.
