Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Brown the Meat Well: Browning the meat is an essential step that helps to develop flavor and depth of taste in your chili. Don't skip this step, even if you're short on time.
  • Use a Variety of Beans: Don't just stick to one type of bean. Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Add Some Veggies: Veggies add sweetness, color, and nutrients to your chili. Feel free to add any veggies you like, such as onions, peppers, corn, or zucchini.
  • Season to Taste: The key to a great chili is to season it to taste. Don't be afraid to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt and pepper until it reaches the flavor you desire. Remember to taste test throughout the cooking process.
  • Let it Simmer: The longer you simmer your chili, the better the flavors will develop. So, don't rush the process. Let it simmer for at least an hour, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve with Toppings: Chili is the perfect dish to serve with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, crushed tortilla chips, and avocado slices.
