Tips for the best chili ever

If you have picky eaters, you can pulse the vegetables in a food processor first. Sautéing the onions and peppers before adding them to the crockpot ensures that they will be nice and tender at the end of cook time. If the crunchiness appeals to you, then no need to sauté them. Can I make this chili on the stovetop? Yes! If you don’t have a slow cooker or are pressed for time, this can also be made on the stove top in about 30 minutes. Brown ground beef and drain. Sauté onions and peppers until tender. Add all ingredients to a very large pot and cook for about 30 minutes. The longer you cook it the better. Be sure to stir frequently. Can I make this chili in an Instant Pot? Sure! Start by turning the instant pot to sauté. Brown the ground beef and drain. Sauté the onions and peppers in a little olive oil. Add meat back into instant pot along with all other ingredients. Stir and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Release the pressure either manually or allow it to release naturally. Can I freeze chili? Absolutely! Freeze in an airtight container and defrost in refrigerator overnight. Reheat on the stove or microwave. This recipe will keep well for about 3 months stored in the freezer. Can I use a different ground meat in this chili recipe? Yes! Please feel free to use any ground meat you’d like. Ground Turkey or even ground chicken are good options. Do you rinse/drain the beans for chili? This is a personal preference. I always rinse and drain my beans for any recipe because I do not like the liquid. Can this chili be vegetarian? Leave out the ground beef and add extra beans to make this recipe vegetarian. Why is sugar used in this chili recipe? Sugar is used to cut the acidity of the tomatoes used in my homemade chili recipe. Using a small amount of sugar balances the flavors which in turn creates a smoother and richer taste overall.
