Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 Tbsp. finely minced chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 6 oz. can tomato paste
  • 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 16 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 16 oz. can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • Heat a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil into pot and add onion and garlic. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, chopped chipotle peppers and tomato paste to the ground beef. Stir well and cook another 2 minutes, until it turns a rusty color. Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
  • Bring to a light simmer and cover almost all the way, leaving a little space for steam to escape. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, until thickened, stirring about every 15 minutes.
