Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded, diced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) black beans, drained
  • 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) red kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can (7 ounces) mild green chiles
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 box (32 ounces) beef stock
  • shredded cheddar cheese, optional, as desired
  • sour cream, optional, as desired

Instructions

Step 1
Place the Ninja PossiblePot over medium-high heat, then add the oil and beef. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Leave the oil in the pan.

Step 2
Add the onion and pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3
Add the tomato paste and sauté until the paste has deepened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, chilies, tomatoes, corn, reserved beef, and all the seasoning. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4
Add the beef stock. Stir well to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3.

Step 5
When cooking is complete, let the chili cool slightly. Top with cheddar cheese and sour cream if desired.
