Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth.

Step 6

Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the spices are well incorporated.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings as needed. If a thicker consistency is desired, remove the lid and let it simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite garnishes, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
