Brian’s Seriously Good Chili Recipe

Chili Recipe

This is it, folks. My own personal go-to chili recipe. Has it been passed down for generations? No. But it serves as my own best chili recipe that I cook all the time.

Don’t be afraid to play! Like it spicier? Add red pepper flakes or Spicy Bush’s Chili Beans. Like it thicker? Feel free to cook this over the stove all day. (Just add water as needed for best consistency.) I felt it was important to add my personal favorite recipe to this book, but know that it is always changing.

I love exploring new flavors and employing new techniques every time I make it so you should feel free to make any adjustments you love and send them along to me! Enjoy

Instructions For Brian’s Seriously Good Chili

In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and garlic in

oil over medium-high heat. I like to use grapeseed oil because it’s a

little less oily.

Add in the ground turkey or beef. Before the meat has completely cooked, add the tomato paste. Finish browning the meat completely.

Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the beans and the cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes (or longer until the desired consistency is reached), stirring occasionally.

Then, 20 minutes before serving, add the beans. You can’t add the beans in right away or they get mushy.

Finish with sharp cheddar cheese. Any leftovers are easy to freeze!
