r/chili

Did a nice proper chili a few weeks back with Chuck roast cut into big cubes with fresh red, yellow, japaleno and poblano peppers, garlic and onion. The sauce base I made using arbol, chipotles, guajillo, Pasila, Morita, ancho and Serrano peppers. Dried spices added were black pepper, 1 tsp of salt, Mexican oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, achiote powder and smoked chipotle powder. Liquid was a small cup of beef broth.

Served with fresh green onions and cilantro.

In other words, no beans!

I have always been raised on chili topped with sour cream, Fritos, shredded cheese, and tabasco (optional) I grew into that one.

My boyfriend said he's always hated chili until I had him try it this way and now it's his favorite😂

I am now curious how else everyone was raised eating chili and if you think changing the toppings will change your opinion on it.

I DIDNT REALIZE A PICTURE OF MY OWN CHILI WOULD OFFEND SO MANY SO PLEASE JUST COMMENT WHAT YOU ENJOY AND NOT BULLY ME THANK U🙃
