Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, and beef stock to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Add the canned corn and stir to combine. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to allow the chili to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 11

Remove from heat and let the chili rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
