Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
