  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the vegetables

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Step 2: Brown the ground beef

Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon.

Step 3: Add the spices

Add 1 chopped green bell pepper, 1 chopped red bell pepper, 1 tablespoon chilli powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Add the tomatoes, beans, and broth

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5: Simmer the chilli

Bring the chilli to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavours have melded together.

Step 6: Thicken the chilli

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Add the mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the chilli has thickened.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the chilli con carne hot with your favourite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced avocado.
