Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 15 oz canned kidney beans
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 8 oz canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) sour cream
- 0.5 cup (optional, for garnish) sliced green onions
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 until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
Step 5
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Drain and rinse the kidney beans and black beans, then stir them into the pot.
Step 7
Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the chili is too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Serve the chili hot in bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions, if desired.
