  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chili seasoning, cumin, and smoked paprika.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the ground beef in a separate pan before adding it to the pot. This will allow the meat to develop a richer, more Maillard reaction-driven taste. Also, don't be afraid to adjust the spices according to your preferences. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Letting the chili simmer for a longer period allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, creating a more complex and satisfying dish. Consider using high-quality canned tomatoes for a sweeter and more vibrant flavor. When choosing beans, opt for varieties with different textures and flavors to add depth to your chili.
