Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 pound (450g) ground beef
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and diced red and green bell peppers, cook for 3-4 minutes until peppers begin to soften.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the drained kidney beans and black beans to the pot and stir to combine.
Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
