Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, chili powder, chipotle chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne. Cook for 5 minutes until very fragrant.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste, bell peppers, and carrots. Remove from heat and add to the bowl of your crockpot.

  4. Ladle the chili into bowls. Top as desired with yogurt, cheese, avocado, and green onions. Enjoy with homemade beer bread.
