Instructions

  1. Place a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil then add onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes then add the garlic cloves and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the pot and break into small pieces. Add a heavy pinch of salt as you cook the ground beef. Once beef is halfway cooked through, add smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and a bit more salt.
  3. When the meat is cooked through, add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, bone broth, and all the beans. Cover and let come to a low boil for 10-15 minutes. Add black pepper at the end and taste to see if any more salt is needed!
  4. Top chili off with your favorite toppings! I add sour cream, avocado,  chili onion crunch, and cilantro!
