    Add diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Chili

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls, top with shredded Longhorn cheddar cheese, crispy beef bacon, and pickled jalapeños to taste.
