MY BEST KID-FRIENDLY CHILI
The husband and I love chili, and love it spicy! But cooking for 3 little children requires me to tone it down for their taste buds. We like to add a few dashes of Sriracha® or fresh chopped jalapeno and onion to make up for the missing heat. The kids are partial to goldfish crackers on top! But as with any chili, feel free to top it with your favorites. If you are lucky enough to live near an Italian market, the salsiccia is best in our opinion. If not, then you can sub another kind of ground Italian sausage. It may be light on spice, but full of flavor!

Steps:
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place green bell pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil bell pepper in the oven, turning every 5 minutes, until skin is blackened and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Transfer roasted pepper to a resealable plastic bag; seal and set aside.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and ground sausage in the hot Dutch oven until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer ground meat to a bowl.
- Heat olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-low heat; cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until onions are translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove roasted pepper from the plastic bag and peel off the blackened layer; chop the pepper. Add chopped bell pepper, ground meat mixture, chili beans, coffee, green chiles, cocoa powder, cumin, and chili powder to the onion mixture; stir well. Simmer, stirring frequently, until warmed, about 5 minutes.
- Stir crushed tomatoes and water into chili; season with salt. Bring to boil. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes. Remove cover and simmer until chili is thickened, about 30 more minutes.

FAMILY FRIENDLY CHILI
Great chili for the whole family including kids. Not too spicy and has the right amount of beans. Also "hides" a lot of veggies. Add more chili powder to make it more spicy. This is a big recipe, so great to make ahead and freeze for future meals

FAMILY FAVORITE CHILI
The name says it all...this has always been my family's favorite, even though there are a lot of shortcuts. It is simple to make, tasty and fast. What else can you ask for? To serve, I ladle it into a large bowl and garnish it with lots of shredded cheddar cheese and jalapenos. I insert tortilla chips all around the edge of the bowl for either scooping up some of the chili with (nacho-style) or eating along with the chili itself.

- Brown your meat before adding it to the chili: This will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer taste. You can brown the meat in a skillet or in the pot you're using to make the chili.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is a key ingredient in chili, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. Beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth are all good options, but you can also use a combination of broths for even more flavor.

Some common spices and seasonings used in chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Chili is a great dish to serve with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.
