A hearty, flavor-packed chili made with ground beef, poblano peppers, black beans, and warming spices. Smoked paprika adds rich, smoky depth, while fresh cilantro brings a bright finish. Serve over rice or roasted sweet potatoes for a complete meal. This recipe is ideal for batch cooking—enjoy some now and freeze the rest for later.
