A rich and flavorful chili recipe perfect for any occasion.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef to get a good sear.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Cook until no pink remains for a fully cooked beef.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Pour in the tomato sauce and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Use a whisk to ensure the liquids are well mixed.
Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Toast the spices slightly in the pot for enhanced flavor.
Simmer the chili on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot partially to prevent splattering while allowing some evaporation.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Serve with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
