Chili Ingredients:
- Ground beef – use lean and you won’t have as much fat to contend with (though it tastes better if it’s a little fatty like 80/20). A beef chili recipe is the traditional way to make chili.
- Beans – I use both black beans and red kidney beans from the can in my recipe (make sure you drain them!).
- Peppers – serrano peppers and sweet peppers add complexity to the flavors without making the recipe itself complex. If you prefer a spicy chili recipe then simply add in some extra peppers.
- Chili powder – the original must-use ingredient though you can adjust it to your level of spiciness.
