Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 large green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 12 ounces cheese ravioli (frozen or fresh)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

While the chili is simmering, prepare the ravioli according to package instructions, but cook 1-2 minutes less than directed to avoid overcooking. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

After the chili has simmered for 25 minutes, gently fold in the cooked ravioli. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Chili with Ravioli!
