- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Now, let’s get to the fun part – cooking! Follow these simple steps:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for about a minute to bring out the flavors.
- Now, add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Give it a good stir.
- Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes. This allows all those juicy flavors to meld together.
- Taste-test and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you want some heat, feel free to toss in some hot sauce or jalapeños.
- Once you’re done, ladle that chili into bowls, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve it up hot!
