  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Dicing the apples, peeling and mincing the garlic, and chopping the onion can save you time when you're ready to cook.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will ensure that you have enough space to accommodate all of the ingredients and prevent overcrowding.
  • Don't skip the browning step: Browning the beef and sausage adds depth of flavor to the chili. Be sure to let the meat brown well before adding the other ingredients.
