Best Easy Chili Recipe

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Stir in the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and broth. Stir well to combine.

Bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover. Let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. For deeper flavors, simmer for up to 1 hour.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, chili powder, or any additional spices as desired.

Serve hot, with optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions.
