Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the drained kidney beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, and tomato paste. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

  5. 5

    Pour in the beef broth and bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For deeper flavor, let it simmer for up to 1-2 hours, adding more broth or water if the chili becomes too thick.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
