Helpful Chef Tips
- Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning toward the end to balance the heat and seasoning perfectly.
Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, ground turkey, and chopped onion, breaking up the meat as you cook. Keep stirring occasionally until everything is browned and cooked through, which usually takes about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once the meat is ready, toss in the kidney beans, baked beans, diced tomatoes, and mushrooms. Sprinkle in the chili powder, minced garlic, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 3
Turn the heat down to low and let the chili simmer gently. It’s best to let it cook for at least an hour to really develop the flavors—just make sure to stir it every now and then so nothing sticks to the bottom.
Step 4
After it’s been simmering for about 30 minutes, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes, so feel free to let it go even longer if you have the time.
