To create this flavorful dish, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step directions to prepare your smoky and spicy chili con carne:

  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Cook the Onion: Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano. Cook for approximately 1 minute until the spices become fragrant.
  4. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  5. Incorporate Tomatoes and Beans: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and vegetable broth. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Season the Chili: Add cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Simmer and Stir: Reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.
