Chop the onions and mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Having your ingredients prepped and ready will make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in your pot and sauté the onions and garlic until they’re fragrant and translucent. This step forms the flavorful base of your chili.

Introduce the ground beef to the pot, and cook until it’s browned and cooked through. This adds a hearty protein element to your chili.

Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans. Let the mixture simmer on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt. These spices will give your chili its signature kick and depth of flavor.

If your chili is too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth. If it’s too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a little longer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Top your chili with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and a dollop of sourdough. These garnishes add a burst of freshness and creaminess to every bite.
