- to taste
- Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Cumin
- 1 tablespoon
- Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice, drained kidney beans, beef broth, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Serve the chili hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
- Enjoy your authentic Tex-Mex Chili Con Carne with a side of cornbread or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with a meat substitute or extra beans. For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño pepper.
