My Favorite Chili Recipe

Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef

1 medium white onion, diced

5 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt or to taste

1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

2 tsp smoked paprika

4 cups beef broth (low sodium)

3 tbsp tomato paste

2 (15-ounce cans) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 (14.5-ounce can) diced tomatoes

2 (4-ounce cans) green chilies

2/3 cup finely crushed tortilla chips

Shredded cheese, cilantro, sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes add in the onion and saute for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain any excess grease.

Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and saute for 1 minute more.

Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans, and green chilies.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, covered, for 60 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.

Remove the lid and stir in the tortilla chips. Let rest for 10 minutes, uncovered, to thicken.

Serve topped with cheese, cilantro, sour cream, and more tortilla chips as desired.
