Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, char the chiles over an open flame or in a hot skillet before rehydrating them.
- To reduce the heat, use a combination of mild and medium-hot chiles. For a hotter chili, use all medium-hot or hot chiles.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
- Brown the beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Add a variety of vegetables to the chili, such as onions, peppers, carrots, and corn. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
- Use a variety of spices to flavor the chili, such as chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
