Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

This chili perfectly balances bold spices with a rich, hearty texture. It’s a comforting meal that warms you up from the inside out. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite beans or meats.

Expert Cooking Tips

- Brown the meat well to develop deep flavor before adding other ingredients.
- Let the chili simmer gently to allow all the spices to blend together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning at the end to get the perfect balance of heat and flavor.

Step 1

Brown the ground beef in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it’s fully cooked and crumbly. Once done, drain the excess fat and set the beef aside. Next, brown the sausages in the same pot and set them aside as well. Turn the heat down to medium, then add the bacon to the pot. Cook it until it starts to release its fat and gets a little crispy. Toss in the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions become soft and translucent, about five minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, making sure to coat the onions well.

Step 2

Now, pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, chili beans, and pinto beans. Add the Anaheim, jalapeño, and serrano peppers to give it a nice kick. Season everything with Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chipotle powder, and cumin. Bring the chili to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about two hours, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks. Once it’s thickened nicely, taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Let it simmer for another five minutes before serving.

Serving Guide

Serve with warm cornbread or over a bed of steamed rice. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh chopped cilantro for added richness and freshness. A side of crunchy tortilla chips also pairs nicely.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This chili also freezes well—portion it into freezer-safe containers and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Turned out well, though I think I added too much chili powder. Still tasty and rich, just kept a glass of water nearby!

Great recipe but I found it a bit too mild for my taste. Next time adding extra cayenne for sure. Otherwise very good.
