Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook, breaking it into crumbles, for 6-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (with juice), 1 can drained kidney beans, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup diced green chiles, 2 minced chipotle peppers in adobo, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and chili thickens.
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes if too thin. Serve hot with desired toppings.
