How to Make Kristins Chili

Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your preferred spice level), and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Add 1 lb of ground beef (or your preferred chili meat) to the pot and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 large chopped onion, 1 chopped green bell pepper, and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
Stir in half of the spice mixture, ensuring it's well combined with the meat and vegetables.
Add 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 15 oz can of tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce (adjust to your preferred heat level).
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
