Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion, 1 medium diced green bell pepper, 1 medium diced red bell pepper, and 4 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables soften and onions become translucent.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release aromas.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes and 1 cup beef bone broth; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the chili thickens and flavors meld, stirring occasionally. Serve hot.
