On the menu tonight – Chili! Of all the types of chili I make, this version is my go-to. It’s made with two types of meat, ground beef and ground pork, along with several types of peppers. There are red and green bell peppers, along with jalapeno and poblano peppers, and the rest of the usual suspects for chili. While it has a kick, it isn’t burn your face of hot. If that’s your thing, you could turn up the heat by adding more cayenne and / or adding a habanero pepper. One of these days I am going add a little de-seeded habanero – but not today. 🙂
I hope you’ll make this version and let me know what you think.
