Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 oz Canned diced tomatoes
• 15 oz Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1.5 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 Premade pie crust
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0 Optional garnish: Chopped green onions or fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato paste, and kidney beans. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the chili mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the chili.

Step 8

Unroll the premade pie crust and place it carefully over the cheese layer, tucking in the edges. Use a knife to cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 11

Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy!
