Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (or your choice of meat)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color you like)
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes
- 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2-3 tablespoons chili powder (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or jalapeños
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onions, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix everything together well.
- Now it’s time to spice things up! Add your chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust the spices to your liking—don’t be shy!
- Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors meld together. The longer it simmers, the better it gets!
- If you’re using a smoker, you can transfer the chili to a smoker-safe pot for an extra layer of delicious smokiness. Smoke for about 1-2 hours at 225°F.
- Once ready, taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!
This Smoked Chili is sure to be a hit at your next get-together! Gather your folks, serve it up, and enjoy some good times and great flavors. Happy cooking!
