Tips:

  • Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight reduces cooking time and helps them cook more evenly.
  • Brown the meat: Browning the meat adds depth of flavor to the chili. Make sure to drain off any excess grease before adding it to the pot.
  • Use a variety of spices: A good chili powder is essential, but don't be afraid to experiment with other spices like cumin, oregano, and paprika.
