Ingredients

  1. 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 1/2 large white onion, chopped
  3. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  4. 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  5. 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
  6. 1 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
  7. 1 tsp. dried oregano
  8. 1 tsp. ground cumin
  9. 1/2 tsp. paprika
  10. 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
  11. Kosher salt
  12. Freshly ground black pepper
  13. 1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  14. 1 (15-oz.) can kidney beans, drained
  15. Shredded cheddar, sour cream, and sliced scallions, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add tomato paste, stirring to coat vegetables. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, and cayenne (if using); generously season with salt and black pepper. Pour in tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded and liquid is slightly reduced, about 20 minutes; season with salt and black pepper, if needed.
  3. Ladle chili into bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream, and scallions.
