Steps
Place a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil then add onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes then add the garlic cloves and sauté for another 3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the pot and break into small pieces. Add a heavy pinch of salt as you cook the ground beef. Once beef is halfway cooked through, add smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and a bit more salt.
When the meat is cooked through, add the fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, bone broth, and all the beans. Cover and let come to a low boil for 10-15 minutes. Add black pepper at the end and taste to see if any more salt is needed!
Top chili off with your favorite toppings! I add sour cream, avocado, chili onion crunch, and cilantro!

Victoria on 2021-03-01 (5 stars): WOW this chili is freaking awesome. Thank you for normalizing eating beans again! I didn't realize just how much I missed them, but I think they will be here to stay in my diet.
Jessica on 2021-05-01 (5 stars): This recipe is fantastic! I recently stopped Keto after being on it for a year and let me tell you this, the idea of foods like beans, bananas and oats going back into my diet caused a stupid amount of stress. I keep trying to find reasons to justify eating them or I'll tell myself to workout extra hard. The flavors in this chili really did it for me. I thought it would be too much food for just my husband and I, but we had no problem clearing that pot.
Colleen on 2021-12-01 (5 stars): Such an easy and delicious recipe! I added corn to mine and it was the perfect addition. I will definitely be making this on repeat throughout the colder seasons. My kids (1.5 and 4.5) also loved this, so that is a huge win!
