**Best Chili Recipe Oh Sweet Basil**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
– 2 cups beef broth
– 2 tsp chili powder
– 1 tsp cumin
– 1/2 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
3. Stir in the red kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like a spicier chili, you can add a dash of hot sauce or more chili powder at this point.
7. Once the chili has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together, it’s ready to serve. Ladle the hot chili into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, or fresh cilantro.
