Do you cook ground beef before making chili?
The first thing you do when there is meat involved in a recipe is to brown the meat first before adding anything else. As raw meat and chili are two things that just do not belong together. If the recipe includes any type of ground meat, bacon, or chorizo or cubes of beef, it should always be browned first.
What gives chili the best flavor?
Cinnamon, strong coffee, and dark chocolate all boost them meaty flavor in a good chili. Pick any of the following: 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 whole cinnamon stick, a shot of espresso, a small cup of strong coffee, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, or a few squares of good-quality dark chocolate.
