Hearty Beef and Bean Chili

Ingredients

• 700 g ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped; 1 bell pepper, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 large can (796 mL) crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 cans beans (kidney and/or black), drained
• Salt, pepper; optional pinch of cayenne or a chipotle

Instructions

1. Brown the beef in a heavy pot; add the onion, pepper, and garlic and soften.
2. Stir in the spices and tomato paste; cook 1 minute until fragrant (bloom them in the fat).
3. Add the crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the beans. Simmer gently, partly covered, at least 1 hour, stirring now and then, until thick and rich.
5. Season to taste. Serve with your favourite toppings — better still the next day.
