Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef

  • 2 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp oregano

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup beef broth (or water)

  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, jalapeños

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Stir in ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes, beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or chopped fresh chilies.
  • This chili freezes well — great for batch cooking.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content without sacrificing flavor.
