Cook the Aromatics – Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil, then once hot, add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Cook the Beef – Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking the meat into smaller chunks, about 3 minutes.
Add Seasonings and Vegetables – Add the chili seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Add bell peppers and minced jalapenos, and cook for 1 minute.
Add the Beans and Tomatoes – Add the black beans, crushed tomatoes, diced fire-roasted tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
Cook the Chili – Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally, cook until the liquid reduces slightly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat if bubbling too rapidly.
