Ingredients
- 1 can of kidney beans (20 ounces), with liquid
- 2 cans of chili beans (15 ounces each), with liquid
- 2 cans of black beans (14 ounces each), with liquid
- 2 cans of black-eyed peas (15.5 ounces each), with liquid
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (28 ounces), with liquid
- 2 pounds of lean ground beef
- 1 pound of hot Italian sausage
- 2 large green bell peppers, finely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 6 small yellow onions, finely chopped
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 6 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 can of sliced jalapeno peppers (4 ounces), finely chopped
- 1 can of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (7 ounces), finely chopped
- 6 serrano peppers, finely chopped
- 4 orange habanero chili peppers, finely chopped
- 1 banana pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 cherry peppers, finely chopped
- 1 Anaheim pepper, finely chopped
- 4 red Thai chili peppers, finely chopped
- 4 green Thai chili peppers, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder, or to your liking
- 1 ½ tablespoons of ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons of red pepper flakes
- 1/3 packet of taco seasoning mix
- Cayenne pepper, to your preferred spiciness level
- Salt and ground black pepper, to suit your taste.
Step 1
In a large, sturdy pot, combine a colorful array of kidney beans, chili beans, black beans, and black-eyed peas. Allow them to mingle and meld flavors over a gentle medium heat.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a sizzling skillet, introduce ground beef and sausage to perform a tantalizing dance of browning and crumbliness. After about 10 minutes of this flavorful tango, drain off any excess oils and unite them with the beans.
Step 3
Next, layer slices of vibrant red and green bell peppers, along with golden and crimson onions, and a sprinkling of garlic, on top of the bean and meat concoction. Let this aromatic ensemble steam and harmonize for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Step 4
Now, it's time to introduce a symphony of peppers – jalapeno, chipotle, serrano, habanero, banana, cherry, Anaheim, red and green Thai chilies – along with a chorus of spices like chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, and taco seasoning. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to your liking.
Step 5
Cover the pot and let this rich medley simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for a leisurely 3-hour infusion of flavors. Enjoy the journey as the ingredients meld and transform into a delectable chili that is sure to warm your soul.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Spices in a Spice Rack : Keep your essential spices like cumin, chili powder, and paprika in a handy spice rack for easy access when you're ready to make your next batch of chili.
- 2. Freeze Fresh Peppers : If you have an abundance of fresh chili peppers, chop them up and freeze them in small containers. They'll be at your fingertips whenever you want to heat up your chili.
