Instructions
Prep
Dice onion and green pepper finely. Mince garlic clove and chipotle chilli. Drain and rinse kidney, black, and pinto beans. Grate cheddar cheese. Have all spices measured and ready.
Sear
Heat 1.5 tsp oil in a medium heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add beef mince, break up with a spoon, cook 4–5 minutes until deeply browned with no pink. Drain excess fat, leaving about 0.5 tsp.
Saute
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and green pepper, cook 4–5 minutes stirring occasionally until softened. Add garlic, chipotle, and tomato paste; cook 1–2 minutes stirring until paste darkens.
Bloom
Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, chilli powder, oregano, salt, and pepper for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Simmer
Pour in crushed tomatoes and beef stock, stir to combine. Add all three beans and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered 35–40 minutes stirring occasionally until thickened and flavours deepen. Season to taste.
Plate
Ladle chili into bowls and serve with sour cream, grated cheddar, and cornbread alongside.
