Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot and use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to let the spices bloom.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

If the chili becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the chili hot topped with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
