Instructions:
- Brown the Beef:
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break the meat up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add Aromatics and Spices:
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Mix in the Tomatoes and Beans:
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Add the kidney beans and season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together.
- Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 30-45 minutes, or until the chili thickens. Stir occasionally.
- Adjust Seasonings:
- Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve:
- Serve the chili hot with your choice of toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or sliced jalapeños.
