As the chill of fall starts to seep through the windows, nothing warms up our home like a pot of homemade chili simmering on the stove. In my kitchen, it begins with lean ground beef browning nicely alongside chopped onions and garlic, their aromas mingling in the air—just what you need to shake off that autumn cold. Adding plump kidney beans and a rich tomato base slowly transforms it into a thick, savory concoction. The scents of chili powder and cumin suggest something magical is underway. We ladle generous servings into bowls, top them with melting cheddar cheese and a dollop of cool sour cream for contrast before scattering some fresh green onions over for that perfect crunch. It's not just dinner; it's comfort in a bowl designed to bring us all together around the table.

Steps to follow
1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens and the flavors meld, about 35 minutes.
