Last Sunday's chili went so well I made more this Sunday using some suggestions from rDrama

Changes:

  • ancho instead of cayenne (not bad, but inferior I think)

  • no corn (I prefer it with but it's not huge)

  • jalapeño instead of habanero (not spicy at all instead of too spicy, unable to find a happy medium. less habanero next time maybe)

  • smoked paprika (unsure of results, will try again next time when I use cayenne instead of the ancho)

Overall is still excellent though

That's all thanks

The thing that took my chili to the next level was starting with bacon fat instead of vegetable oil to saute everything.

(Tinfoil hat time) Putting peppers in early gives a lingering heat, where putting peppers in late gives you a more upfront heat. I usually put habaneros in with my onions and bell peppers. Jalapenos minced and put in later.

San Marzano tomatoes are usually a good call too.

I usually put the high heat peppers in early, so I have time to adjust. Then tasty peppers toward the end. I've tried multiple pepper drops; Jalapeno then serrano then hatch... But it can get out of hand if I get too fancy. :marseysweating:
