Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 15-ounce can canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 cup water (optional, for adjusting consistency)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked beef aside on a plate.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, beef broth, and tomato paste.

Step 5

Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the stew becomes too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste the stew and adjust seasonings if necessary. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove from heat and ladle the Hamburger Chili Stew into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm.
