Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the chili. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and combine.
  • Brown the beef in batches. This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding the pot and steaming instead of browning.
  • Don't be afraid to add more spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with different flavors. If you like it spicy, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you want a more complex flavor, add some cumin or smoked paprika.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and avocado.
