• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz can)
• 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz can)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 can kidney beans (15 oz can), drained and rinsed
• 1 can black beans (15 oz can), drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the chili with salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well and bring the chili to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more crushed red pepper or cayenne for extra heat.

Step 9

Serve the chili hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
