Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped red and green bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef to the pot, and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. This should take about 7-9 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the chili to simmer for at least 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
