Directions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven. Add ground beef; cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally to break into crumbles. Drain and discard drippings.
Add white and yellow onions, garlic and both chili seasonings; stir to combine. Stir in fire-roasted and puréed whole tomatoes, tomato soup and tomato paste. Add dark red kidney beans, chili beans in sauce and light red kidney beans. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Cover and gently simmer over low heat for 3 hours.
Season to taste with brown sugar. Serve with desired toppers.
