Directions
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, browning it while breaking it apart with the cooking spatula. Strain off the excess fat, if desired, keeping the meat in the pan.
Step 2
Mix in the onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook until onion softens, about 3 min. Add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring, about 2 min., until the paste is slightly caramelized to deepen the flavour. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beans, salt and pepper, along with 1 cup (250 mL) water (or beef or vegetable broth). Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook 20 min. to combine flavours. If desired, uncover part way through simmering for a thicker chili.
Step 3
Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Remove from the heat. Cover and let chili stand 5 min. to cool slightly.
Step 4
Garnish bowls of chili with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions to serve.
