Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Select high-quality beef or pork that is not too fatty. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used for a leaner option.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables such as onions, celery, and carrots add flavor and texture to the chili stew. Choose vegetables that are firm and brightly colored.
  • Don't Skimp on Spices: A flavorful blend of spices is essential for a delicious chili stew. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper for some heat.
  • Use a Variety of Beans: Different types of beans add different flavors and textures to the chili stew. Try using a combination of black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
