#### Ingredients:
– 2 lbs ground beef
– 1 large onion, diced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 can (15 oz) of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can (15 oz) of black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can (15 oz) of diced tomatoes
– 1 can (6 oz) of tomato paste
– 2 cups beef broth
– 2 tablespoons chili powder
– 1 tablespoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions
#### Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot with the beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

4. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you prefer a spicier chili, you can add some extra chili powder or a dash of hot sauce.
