Making Pioneer Woman Chili is a simple and enjoyable process. Just follow these easy steps to create a delicious pot of chili:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine with the meat and vegetables.
4. Incorporate Beans: Add the kidney beans and black beans to the pot. Stir to evenly distribute the beans throughout the mixture.
5. Season the Chili: Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well-seasoned.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine. If you prefer a thinner chili, you can add more broth to reach your desired consistency.
7. Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or spices to suit your preference.
9. Serve: Once the chili is thickened and flavorful, remove it from the heat and prepare to serve.

These steps will guide you in creating a hearty and flavorful Pioneer Woman Chili that is sure to delight your family and friends.
