Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the sausage is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Leave about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pot.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and diced jalapenos, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker consistency, let the chili simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve hot with optional toppings like fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese if desired.
