When life gives you an abundance of spicy peppers, you make spicy chile butter! Luckily, creating this versatile pantry staple doesn't require a bumper crop of peppers; you can use store-bought or garden-fresh peppers. You can also adjust the heat level to your liking simply by choosing milder or spicier peppers. This zesty compound butter makes a great addition to garlic bread, corn on the cob, and roasted potatoes or vegetables. It also can be used as a marinade for chicken and pork, or as a flavorful spread for sandwiches.

SPICY BEEF CHILI
If you like really spicy beef chili, this is a quick and simple recipe to try. I don't include measurements for some of the spices as they should be to taste (the more, the better for me). I taste the chili throughout the simmering process and add more spice as I go.

Tips:
- Use fresh chiles: Fresh chiles have a brighter flavor and more heat than dried chiles. If you can't find fresh chiles, you can use dried chiles, but soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using to rehydrate them.
- Choose the right type of chile: There are many different types of chiles, each with its own unique flavor and heat level. For this recipe, we recommend using a mild to medium-heat chile, such as a poblano or Anaheim chile. If you want a spicier butter, you can use a hotter chile, such as a jalapeño or habanero chile.
- Roast the chiles before using: Roasting the chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel and chop. To roast the chiles, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are blackened and blistered. Once the chiles are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and chopping them.
- Use unsalted butter: Unsalted butter is best for this recipe because it allows you to control the amount of salt in the butter. If you use salted butter, you may find that the butter is too salty.
- Let the butter cool before using: Once you have made the chile butter, let it cool completely before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
Conclusion:
Chile butter is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be used to add flavor to grilled meats, vegetables, and seafood. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or crackers. No matter how you use it, chile butter is sure to add a delicious kick to your meals.
