Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced, large
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ pounds ground beef 85/15
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 ounces)
- 1 can tomato sauce (14 ounces)
- 1 cup beef broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the spices to become fragrant.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, diced onions, or sour cream.
