Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices and deepen their flavor.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the diced red and green bell peppers, kidney beans, and black beans. Mix everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference).

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and let the chili rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
