How to Make Homemade Chili
Chili Recipe Tips
Prepare the ingredients, such as measuring out spices and chopping the veggies, before you start cooking.Make sure to chop the onion and bell pepper into a relatively similar size and shape so that the vegetables will soften at the same time.I find this chili mild to medium spicy. You can add more heat as you desire.Spruce up this simple chili with additional toppings at the end. I like to add shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, tortilla chips, and Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a delicious low-fat, high protein substitute for sour cream.You can serve it on top of greens (like spinach), over rice, or in a lettuce wrap.
