- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans (drained and rinsed), and broth. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a thicker chili, you can simmer it for longer to reduce the liquid.
- Serve hot, topped with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or diced avocado.
Enjoy your homemade chili!
