Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 pounds ground beef (85% lean)
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth, mixing well to combine.

Step 6

Add the kidney beans, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir thoroughly.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

After 60 minutes, uncover the pot and let the chili simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, removing the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, topped with optional garnishes like chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
