Ingredients
- 1 medium onion diced
- ½ cup diced green pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic around 1 tablespoon
- 1½ lbs lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon chili powder divided
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes with liquid
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 15 oz can light red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the onion and green pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned, then drain any excess fat and return to pot.
- Make a clearing in the middle of the pot and add the tomato paste. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until the paste begins to darken.
- Add the tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, beans, and the remaining chili powder, paprika, and cumin, then stir to combine.
- Let the chili simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
