IMG_0760I cannot tell a lie spicy, rich, tomatoey chili with lots of depth and a list of ingredients a mile long is my favorite sort of chili.  Bring it on!  I’m a sucker for a chili recipe like this!

 

IMG_0731

Don’t let the list of ingredients for this recipe scare you.  Honestly once you get the meat browned and the veggies sautéed all you need to do is throw the rest of the ingredients in and let her cook and cook and cook and cook….this is not a quick throw it together and eat it in an hour chili, this chili is actually best made the day before or early in the morning the longer it cooks the better it gets!  This recipe did not win the prestigious Chili Cook-Off award at my church, but it got my vote!  So I just had to include it in Chili Cook-Off week!

Thanks to Stacy for sharing her 5 Alarm Chili recipe.
I do have to say that because I could not find habanero peppers in the grocery store I used a can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce instead.  Feel free to kick the heat up in this recipe….if you dare!

Masa is one of my favorite chili recipe tricks.  Mix a few tablespoons of this corn flour with cold water and whisk it in near the end of cooking your chili.  It will give your chili a rich thick depth that is out of this world!   Psssst ….thati’s it!  I just gave you  my number one chili secret,  Masa.  That’s all I gots people!

What's the secret ingredient in your chili recipe?

    my secret ingredient is a sprinkle of any of my husband’s homegrown chili peppers that he has dried. He grows at least 20-30 kinds every year and dries them. They sure had a hotness like no other!!!!

    Not a secret for regular people, but from my husband, haha: lots and lots of seasoning! He supposedly hates garlic, but I sneak it there. 🙂

    I take some of the chili and buzz it with avocado chunks and tortilla chips and add it not long before serving. I had gotten the idea from a vitamix demo for tortilla soup, it was soo good I like it in chili!

    Brown sugar and cinnamon. I’ll confess that I never ate chili until I was 22. Seriously weird, I know.
