Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Base Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Chili

    Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving the Chili

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chili is simmering, prepare your toppings: chop the green onions and slice the jalapeños as desired.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Once the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded, ladle it into bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and jalapeños to taste.
