Tips:

Use ground beef or turkey: Both meats work well in this recipe, so choose the one you prefer. If you're using ground turkey, you may want to add a little extra oil to the pan to prevent it from sticking.
Chop the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a food processor, you can use it to quickly chop the vegetables.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to hold all of the ingredients for this chili. A Dutch oven or large stockpot works well.
Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. You can simmer the chili for longer if you want, but 30 minutes is the minimum.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped onions, and cilantro are all great toppings for chili.

Conclusion:

This Russian chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this Russian chili a try.
