Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 2 stalks Celery
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 15 ounces Canned kidney beans
• 15 ounces Canned white beans
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.

Step 3

Chop the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Add these vegetables to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, white beans, and tomato paste.

Step 5

Pour in the beef stock and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bring the chili to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally topping with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a wholesome meal.
