  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium potato, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Add Potatoes and Seasonings: Stir in the diced potatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
  4. Add Beans, Tomatoes, and Broth: Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, and kidney beans. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Simmer the Chili: Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let the chili simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the flavors have melded together. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for extra flavor if desired.

This Hearty Beef and Bean Chili is perfect for cold days and makes a filling, flavorful meal. The combination of beans, vegetables, and spices gives it depth and richness, while the garnishes add a refreshing touch. Enjoy!
