A Little Story About This Dish…

Chili, as most of us know it, began in the Southwest, United States and became most popular in Texas.

There is much debate, especially in Texas, on whether or not this dish (which they call a bowl of red), should contain beans. In the northern states, bean are usually contained in the recipe, and they are here.

The addition of Chipotle Powder gives this chili a faint hint of smoke which is particularly pleasing.

As far as the amount of heat, just add more or less cayenne pepper to the recipe or add your preferred hot sauce.

The most common topping garnishments are: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions and diced tomato. It is also often served with corn bread or corn muffins.
