Instructions

Chili Preparation

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until deeply browned, breaking up any large chunks.
  2. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the beef. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the whole garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Toast for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the garlic is tender.

Serving

  1. Ladle the chili into bowls.
  2. Top each serving with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh jalapeno slices.

Chef's notes

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To maximize flavor without extra fat, toast your spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder) in the hot pan for 30 seconds before adding the liquids.

Tip 2 of 2

For the best texture, use whole garlic cloves—they will soften and melt into the sauce during the 45-minute simmer.
