Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14.5 ounce can) beef broth
- 2 (15 ounce cans) red kidney beans rinsed
- 1 (14.5 ounce can) diced tomatoes
- 2 (4.5 ounce cans) diced green chiles

Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. After 5 minutes add the diced onion and cook 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 3 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, stirring to combine.
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce can) beef broth, 2 (15 ounce cans) red kidney beans, 1 (14.5 ounce can) diced tomatoes, and 2 (4.5 ounce cans) diced green chiles. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir in 2/3 cup finely crushed tortilla chips. Let the chili rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes to thicken.
- Serve the chili topped with shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and additional crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
