Best Chili Recipe
As much as I love
to cook I also enjoy the ease of making a one pot meal. Chili is one my favorite
one pot wonders. It only gets better as it sits in the refrigerator. My husband
really enjoys it and asks for it often. I remember my Mom making chili when I
was a child. She always served it over mashed potatoes, which is still my favorite
way to eat it. However, there are a few differences between my chili and my Mom's...
I add tomato paste to make the chili rich. I also add three whole cloves while the chili is simmering. I love the hint of warmth they impart. I take them out before I serve the chili. You could add a pinch to 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
Sometimes I add a teaspoon or two of garam masala. This Indian spice imparts more flavor and warmth. Sometimes I add 4 or 5 dashes of Tabasco for a hint of heat. I taste the chili as it's cooking and make flavor adjustments.
The best thing about chili is there isn't only one way to make it. You can give it a different hint of flavor every time you make it!
