Christina's Notes
- Spices: Add spices like chili powder, chipotle powder or smoked paprika to the 3 cans of beans and tomatoes.
- Bloom the Spices: Sauté the spices in a little oil before adding the other ingredients. This releases their aromas and enhances their flavor.
- Layer the Flavors: Build the flavor of your chili in stages. Start by sautéing the onions and garlic, add the spices, meat, beans, tomato sauce and broth.
- Heat and Simmer: Simmering the chili for a longer period allows the flavors to meld and deepen. A slow cooker is also a great option for this perfect meal.
- Taste and Adjust: Don't be afraid to taste your chili throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooked chili can become mushy. Simmer just until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened, but avoid cooking it for too long.
