Tips:

  • Use ground beef or turkey: This is the most common protein used in chili, but you can also use ground chicken, pork, or lamb. If you're using ground beef, choose a leaner variety to reduce the fat content.
  • Brown the meat well: This will help to develop the flavor of the chili. Make sure the meat is browned all the way through before adding the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to the chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
  • Use diced tomatoes: These will add acidity and help to balance out the flavors of the chili.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: This is the most important ingredient in chili, so don't skimp on it. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of chiles, such as ancho, guajillo, and pasilla.
  • Add other spices to taste: Some good options include cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and cilantro.
