Sweet and Smoky Chili

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef, cooking until it is browned, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks.

Once the ground beef is cooked, add chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until it is tender.

Add garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in chipotle peppers and their adobo sauce, cooking for an additional 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.

Add diced tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Pour in beef broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer then reduce the heat to low and let cook, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.

Season the chili with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
