For Chili:

1 large yellow or white onion diced
1 pound ground beef
1 tsp salt
¼ cup tomato paste, (66g)
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

Baked Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Pierce cleaned potatoes all over with a fork.
Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
Bake on a baking sheet for 60 to 75 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

Chili:

While your potatoes cook, in a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
Once hot add onions and cook until they just begin to turn translucent around the edges, about 5 minutes.
Add ground beef and salt, and cook, stirring often, until beef is browned.
If the beef releases an excessive amount of fat (more than a tablespoon or two), you can drain the meat or use a paper towel to absorb some of the grease.
Stir in tomato paste, garlic, and spices, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.
Stir in tomatoes, beans, and broth.
Bring to a simmer and simmer the chili uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and chili has thickened.
Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
