Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne (optional)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained & rinsed

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until soft.

  4. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth while stirring well.
  5. Add both red kidney beans and black beans into the pot. Let the chili simmer uncovered for about 30–40 minutes while stirring occasionally until it thickens to your liking.
  6. Taste your chili and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot topped with your favorite garnishes!
