# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Put the garlic and ground beef in the pot. Stir and break the meat up as it cooks until it's no longer pink. Drain the fat if there's too much.
02 -
Warm olive oil in a big pot on medium. Throw in the chopped onion and cook till it’s soft and clear, about 3 to 4 minutes.
03 -
Add in chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Keep stirring for around a minute so their flavors pop.
04 -
Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and beef broth. Stir everything so it’s mixed up well.
05 -
Turn the heat up till it boils, then lower it and let it cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir off and on while it thickens.
06 -
If it’s too thick, add some broth to thin it out. Taste and toss in more salt or spices if needed.
07 -
Scoop the chili into bowls and serve it hot. You can top with sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, or chopped cilantro if you like.
