How to make Speedy Beef & Black Bean Chili Bowl

1. Brown the beef: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 10 oz lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Drain excess fat: Carefully drain off any excess fat from the pot and discard it.
3. Sauté aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the 1/2 finely diced yellow onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Toast spices: Stir in the 1.5 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
5. Add remaining ingredients: Pour in the undrained 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, the rinsed and drained 15 oz can of black beans, and 1/2 cup beef broth. Stir everything together well.
6. Simmer the chili: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
7. Season and adjust: Uncover the pot, stir the chili, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or chili powder if desired. If the chili is too thick, add a splash more beef broth or water.
8. Serve: Ladle the hot chili into bowls. Garnish generously with your favorite optional toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.
