Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- ½ pound 90/10 ground beef (or whatever ground beef you prefer)
- 2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 canned chipotle peppers, minced (you can use between 1 to 3 chipotles - adjust per spice preferences!)
- 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce from the canned chipotles
- 2 cans black beans (15 ounces each) drained and rinsed
- 14 ½ ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 8 ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 4 minutes, until just starting to get tender.
- Add the ground beef and continue to cook for 6-7 minutes, until just about browned. (Drain any excess fat if needed).
- Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, pepper, chipotle pepper(s), and adobo. Cook for 1 minute, stirring well.
- Add the beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes, then serve! You can add optional toppings like scallions, cheddar cheese, or tortilla chips if you’d like.
Notes
- If the chili is too thick for your liking, just add a little beef broth.
- If you prefer a meatier chili, use 1 pound of ground beef and 1 can of beans, rather than the amounts listed here.
