  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

Beans and Tomatoes

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

Spices and Broth

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth

Cooking Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Add Spices: Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add Liquids and Beans: Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Simmering longer improves flavor and thickens chili.
  • Serve with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.
  • This chili freezes well; store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
