🥘 Ingredients

Honestly, without doubt this is hands down one of the best chilis I've had... and I have had my fair share of chili. Nevertheless, having attended many a chili cook off competition and even judging one or two I can say confidently this Sweet and Spicy Chili is a winner.

Ground Beef

Green and Red Bell Peppers

Yellow Onion

Garlic Powder

Black Pepper

Salt

Brown Sugar

Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Cumin (optional)

Chili Powder (optional)

Diced Tomatoes

Diced Green Chilies

Kidney Beans

Corn

Tomato Soup

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook Veggies and Meat

Firstly, pre-heat a large skillet or pan. Then cook beef and sauté vegetables on medium to high heat. You will know it is done when the meat has had time to brown and the onions appear translucent. My aunt likes to make this all in one big pan. However, I start off my Sweet and Spicy chili in my biggest skillet and transfer it to a big soup pot. Secondly, add in all those yummy spices! Once you have those added stir everything together. Then we want to transfer everything in the pan to a larger pot on medium heat.

Simmer and Stir

Thirdly, lets add water, brown sugar, diced tomatoes, green chilies, beans, corn and tomato soup to the large pot. Then allow it to reach a low simmer. In general everything needs about 45 minutes to an hour to come together. In the meantime though, be sure to stir the chili occasionally.

💭 Top Tips

As mentioned earlier, chili can have many varying levels of spice. If you or someone in your family is sensitive to heat, have no fear. To be sure everyone is happy you can adjust the level of seasonings in your Sweet and Spicy Chili more to your taste. As a matter of fact, I would say this recipe generally has too much heat for your average kid. If I know I have a more sensitive crowd, then I leave out the cayenne pepper all together. You could also adjust the amount of cumin and chili powder to h elp with level of heat .

🥗 Toppings

Now that we've got our Sweet and Spicy Chili cooked, the real fun can begin! Before sitting down and enjoying a bowl we need to add our toppings. There is something so satisfying about building your own customizable meal experience. With this in mind some of our favorite toppings include:

Shredded Cheese

Sour Cream

Greet Yogurt

Crumbled Bacon

Sliced Avocado

Shredded Lettuce

Sliced Olives

Chopped Tomatoes

Diced Onions

Chopped Green Onions

Crushed Tortilla Chips

Crackers

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sourdough Toast

My most favorite way to enjoy a bowl of chili however is with a sourdough loaf. Which is exactly the reason we almost always have a loaf in our freezer! But if you don't have any of that on hand try it with a slice of our favorite homemade sandwich bread! 📋 FAQ's Can you freeze chili? Absolutely! Double the recipe and make future meal planning so easy. Serve Sweet and Spicy Chili tonight as a bowl of chili with sourdough toast, and freeze the rest. What can you eat chili on or with? We especially love using leftover or a doubled batch of chili as our base for Southwestern Tamale Pie. We also love chopping up your favorite taco toppings and serving chili over a bed of corn chips for taco salad! Or next time you bring home leftover fries from your favorite restaurant, pop them in the air fryer or oven, top with the chili from the freezer and cheese for chili cheese fries. We also love serving chili on top of baked potatoes or hot dogs. The options are endless! Can you make chili in a crockpot? This recipe is easily adjusted for preparing in a crockpot!. After browning the meat and sautéing the onions move everything to a crockpot instead of a large pot. Then, add all the other ingredients to the chili and mix thoroughly. Allow your Sweet and Spicy Chili to cook for 4 hours on high or 6 on low. And if you really want to make life easier use one of these slow cooker liners and save yourself from having to do any heavy cleanup!
