Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef

    Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until well browned, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and drain excess fat if needed.

  2. Soften the Vegetables

    Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more.

  3. Bloom the Spices

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and brick-red.

  4. Simmer

    Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and beef stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich, 30-45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Serve

    Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and green onions, if you like. Even better the next day.
