Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the ground beef and pork. Break it apart and cook until no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped green onions.

Notes

This chili freezes well and can be made in advance. Feel free to adjust spice levels or add chopped bacon or peppers for more flavor.
