Chili Bowl

Heat oil in a pan. Sauté beef until browned. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

Add onions, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté until fragrant.

Add tomato sauce and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until beef is tender. If necessary, add some water to help tenderize the beef. Keep the consistency wet but not watery. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add kidney beans and simmer for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to serving bowls, and top with sour cream, if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
