Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 ounces corn, drained
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth.
  5. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro.
