Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  2. Add the ground beef; sauté until fully cooked and no pink shows at all in the meat (about 8 minutes).
  3. Add the cumin, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the tomatoes, beef stock, beans and corn. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the parsley, and bring to a simmer over low heat.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens slightly, about 1-1⁄2 hours.
