Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 can 15 oz kidney beans (drained)
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans (drained)
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Cook the Ground Beef

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Break it apart with a spoon. Remove extra fat if needed.

Add Onion and Garlic

  • Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about five minutes. Stir often. The onion should become soft and slightly golden.

Add Bell Peppers

  • Add green and red bell peppers. Stir well. Cook for another five minutes. The peppers should soften but still keep their shape and color.

Add Tomatoes and Paste

  • Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice. Add tomato paste. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture will look thick and rich.

Add Beans and Broth

  • Add kidney beans and black beans. Pour in beef broth. Stir gently. The liquid should cover most of the ingredients in the pot.

Add Spices

  • Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and black pepper. Mix well. These spices give deep flavor. Adjust salt later if needed.

Simmer the Chili

  • Bring the chili to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir sometimes to prevent sticking.

Taste and Serve

  • Taste the chili before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce grease.
  • Simmer longer for deeper flavor.
  • Add a pinch of sugar if tomatoes taste too acidic.
  • For spicy chili, add red pepper flakes.
  • Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  • Let chili rest 10 minutes before serving.
