Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include white beans, black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in chili, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% chili peppers and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Add some spice: Chili is a spicy dish, so don't be afraid to add some spice to your recipe. You can add spice by using a spicy chili powder, adding cayenne pepper, or by adding some chopped jalapeños.
  • Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili for a long period of time will help to develop the flavors and make the chili more delicious. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, but longer is better.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can serve with chili, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and avocado. Choose your favorite toppings and enjoy!
