Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 small onion (100g), white or yellow, chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic (10g)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste (66g)
  • 1 can (15.5 oz) light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef bone broth (240ml)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chopped onion, ground beef, and minced garlic. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spoon or meat chopper, until fully browned—about 5–7 minutes. Do not drain the fat.
  3. Stir in tomato paste until the beef is coated.
  4. Add drained kidney beans, fire-roasted tomatoes (with liquid), and bone broth. Stir well to combine.
  5. Season with chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Optional: simmer uncovered for an additional 15–30 minutes for thicker consistency and deeper flavor.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cheese, green onions, or lime wedges.

Notes

  • Do not drain fat after browning beef—it enhances flavor.
  • Simmering longer (up to 60 mins) improves thickness and flavor.
  • Store in fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat on stovetop or in microwave with a splash of broth or water.
  • Customize with spicier options like chipotle powder or jalapeños.
