Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle in the garlic powder and chili powder, adjusting the amount of chili powder to suit your desired level of spiciness. Stir well to coat the meat and onions with the spices.
-
Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, beef broth, drained and rinsed beans (cannellini, great northern, red kidney, and black beans). Stir everything together until well combined.
-
Simmer: Allow the chili to simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the chili to reach the desired consistency. If it thickens too much, you can add more broth or water.

Serve: Ladle the hot chili into bowls and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped onion, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve alongside warm, crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
