Ingredients
Directions

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Once the beef is cooked, drain it of excess fat and add the diced onion to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Next, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened. Stir constantly to avoid burning.

Now it's time to add the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Mix to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chili beans (if using), and kidney beans (if using). Stir to combine and add the chili broth, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.

Bring the chili to a simmer and let cook for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the meat to tenderize.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot over rice or with crusty bread and enjoy!
Conclusion
