Directions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 2
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- 3
Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened, stirring occasionally.
- 4
Add the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 6
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 60 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- 7
For a thicker chili, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld.
- 8
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust cayenne pepper if more heat is desired.
- 9
Serve hot with your preferred toppings. This chili tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had more time to deepen.
