Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Beans and Tomatoes

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

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onion: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent, developing a base of flavor.
  2. Brown the beef and cook garlic: Add minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Break up the beef with a spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add spices: Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast and release their aroma.
  4. Add beans, tomatoes, and broth: Pour in diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to meld flavors.
  6. Final seasoning and serve: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For thicker chili, cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes to reduce liquid.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or green onions.
