Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium heat until hot, then add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic into the pot. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook these spices for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and beef broth, stirring everything together. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
  5. Check the consistency; it should be thick and hearty. Ladle the chili into bowls, and top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.
