In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In the slow cooker, combine the browned meat and sautéed vegetables.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and black beans.
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the beef broth, stirring to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, check the chilli for seasoning and consistency. Adjust if necessary.
Once cooked, ladle the chilli into bowls and add desired toppings.
