Instructions

- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for another minute to release those fragrant flavors.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all the goodness.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows all the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Once it’s all cooked up, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!
