I am going to try this with habaneros It looks delicious. Need to get to the grocery store to get some more Mexican cheese blend.
I love your recipes! Sure, I may not use all of them, but either way, itās nice to see you cook. You have a great personality and dare I say, youāre cute too haha.
Keep up the great work! š
I wonder if I can find a gorgeous garlic blooming candle I can light when i watch these videos. Otherwise, I just need to start some sauting whenever I see a new video post.
I chop the stem/top off of a few habaneros and let them simmer while the chili cooks. Ads great flavor and a bit of extra heat.
What is the "Non-Negotiable" topping for a bowl of Black Bean Chili? š¶
A) A massive dollop of sour cream.
B) Extra fresh-sliced jalapeƱos (Heat seeker style!).
C) Crumbly white cheese (Queso Fresco).
D) A squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro.
E) "I eat it plain – the chili is the star!
Wonderful video; recipe very doable!! Love the pork & turkey combo. Thank you!! š„š
Turkey and chicken do not belong in chili
As a vegan, I will omit the meat and chicken broth, but wondering if I I can replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth? If I do, will any of the seasonings change or amounts change? TIA
I shred cheddar on top of chili, and add scallions and avocado. And tortilla strips!
Delicious idea.
Dammit you got me, I've made "chili/nachos/e.t.c." with Black Beans & loved it everytime so I just gotta….. I Don't want to because it was Pizza night, but now I got to! RIP pizza.
Mines 30 minutes away! I used some gov't canned pork I've had on the shelf for years. (it expired a year ago). We'll see how it turns out!

I love black beans. I always use one can of black beans and one can of pinto or kidney beans in my chili. I've never had any complaints.
This is perfect for that super-lean meat at the grocery, the turkey, venison, buffalo products that are near 95-98% lean.
Dude I love that apron! Where did you get it?
Super easy! I subbed the jalapeƱo hot sauce with a Fresno hot sauce that I made this year, and added a Guinness during simmering. Great recipe, and yes, ZESTY! Love all of your content, thanks!
