Ingredients
Instructions
Sizzle ground beef in a spacious pot over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly, approximately 7-8 minutes. Carefully drain accumulated fat.
Introduce finely diced onions and crushed garlic into the pot, sautéing until translucent and aromatic, roughly 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle in robust spice blend of chili powder, ground cumin, smoky paprika, and dried oregano. Toast spices for 60 seconds to intensify their flavors, stirring continuously.
Pour in fire-roasted diced tomatoes, rich tomato paste, savory beef broth, tender kidney beans, and hearty black beans. Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
Elevate heat momentarily to trigger boiling, then immediately reduce to low simmer. Allow chili to gently bubble and meld flavors for 35-40 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent scorching.
Calibrate seasoning with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preference.
Ladle steaming chili into deep bowls and garnish with preferred toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.
