Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • ½ cup beef broth

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat until deeply colored, about 8 minutes.
  2. Cook the onion and bell pepper in the same pot for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and tomato paste for 1 minute.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, green chilies, all spices, broth, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat, partially cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until thickened. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Chili thickens as it sits. If you prefer a looser chili, stir in a little more broth when reheating. The spice level builds over time, so if making ahead, keep it mild and add heat when you reheat.
