Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and economical than canned beans. If you use dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Rinse the beans before cooking: This helps to remove any dirt or debris from the beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add vegetables to your chili: Vegetables will add flavor, nutrients, and color to your chili. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a lot of depth of flavor, such as beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season your chili to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of heat with chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Let your chili simmer: The longer you simmer your chili, the more flavorful it will become. Simmer your chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
