Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 28 ounces Diced tomatoes, canned
• 15 ounces Kidney beans, canned
• 15 ounces Black beans, canned
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), canned kidney beans, canned black beans, and beef broth. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the chili for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste the chili and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, or fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
