  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and finely diced carrots and cook for a minute or two before add ground beef, cook till browned then add garlic to the pot with chili pepper (if using) cook till very fragrant. 
  2. Add paprika, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and espresso powder to the pan and stir till everything is combined, let it cook for another minute to let the spices bloom. Pour in the honey, stir and then add the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan.
  3. Adjust heat to low and add the crushed tomatoes to the pan with the broth. Simmer for 10 minutes and then add the black bans to the pan.
