Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 can black beans 15 oz., drained
  • 1 can kidney beans 15 oz., drained
  • 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pc. onion large, finely chopped
  • 1 pc. green bell pepper cut into small-sized cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt

For serving

  • 1 tsp. pickled jalapeno per serving
  • 1 tsp. cheddar cheese per serving
  • ½ tbsp. sour cream per serving

Instructions
 

  • Place a pot on the stove and put olive oil in. Heat it in a medium setting. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the bell pepper and onion to the pot. Cook until the ground beef changes color, then add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute.
  • Put tomato paste into the pot. Stir until the paste fully incorporates the other ingredients.
  • Pour the tomato sauce and water into the pot. Cook until the mixture boils. Add the drained beans and reduce the heat to a low setting.
  • Add black pepper, salt, sugar, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and cinnamon to the mixture. Close the lid halfway. Cook for another 20 minutes, or the chili thickens visibly.
  • Take the pot off the heat, and close the lid. Wait about half an hour for the consistency to set.
  • Divide the bean chili into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and pickled jalapeno.

Notes

  • Cooking chili in an iron cast pot is a taste-enhancing detail. If you have one at home, we recommend you give it a try for this recipe.
