1 Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to a large pot with the olive oil and cook over medium heat until they are soft and translucent.
2 Add the ground beef to the pot and continue to sauté until the beef is fully browned.
3 Drain the beans and add them to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, 1 cup/250ml water, and all of the ingredients for the chili seasoning. Stir until well combined.
4 Place a lid on the pot and allow it to simmer over a low flame for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally (the flavor gets better the longer it simmers).
5 Give the chili one final taste, adjust the salt or seasonings if needed, then serve hot with your favorite toppings.
