👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned; drain excess fat.
2. Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper; cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3. Pour in canned diced tomatoes (undrained) and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for richer flavor, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in drained kidney beans and cook for another 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the chili to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve hot, optionally garnished with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, or green onions.
