How to Make Hot And Spicy Chili
- Prep all vegetables: Chop 1 large onion, mince 4 cloves garlic, and slice your choice of peppers (adjust amount based on desired heat level). Consider using a mix of bell peppers (for sweetness) and jalapeños, serranos, or habaneros (for heat). Remove seeds and membranes from hotter peppers for less heat.
- Brown the meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain off excess grease. Repeat with 1 lb stew beef (cut into 1-inch cubes) and 1 lb spicy Italian sausage (removed from casings).
- Simmer the chili: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes, 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and the browned meats. Add the onion, garlic, and peppers. Stir well.
- Add the beans: Add 2 (15 oz) cans of your favorite beans (kidney, pinto, black, etc.), drained or undrained depending on desired consistency. Stir in 12 oz of beer (optional).
- Simmer low and slow: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Infuse with flavor: Stir in 3 tablespoons Mongolian fire oil, 1/8 - 1/4 cup chili powder (adjust to taste), 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and your favorite hot sauce (start with 1-2 tablespoons and add more as needed).
- Final simmer: Continue to simmer for another 1-2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded.
- Serve and enjoy! Garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
