Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium jalapeño, diced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, green bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix to combine.

Step 4

Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, ensuring the spices coat the mixture evenly.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the chilli simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the diced zucchini to the pot, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
