This chili is also delicious made with ground chicken, turkey, or pork instead of--or combined with--the beef. You can also omit the meat entirely. I like using a combination of any of the following beans: navy, great Northern, cannellini, black, garbanzo, adzuki. Use canned beans with low or no sodium.
Well, I used this as a base for a (Pulled it out of the Pantry) Chili. And it turned out pretty good, thanks to you and this recipe. I had to ad-lib. I didn't have a fresh pepper, but I had a jar of roasted red peppers. I went to Walgreen's and they didn't have a dark beer so I used an MHL. I wasn't reading the recipe all the time, and looking back, I didn't use basil, I grabbed the oregano. I couldn't make myself use that big can of tomatoes so I used a can of Rotel. While cooking the onion, I added Spanish paprika, chili powder, cumin, tomato paste, and chipotle peppers, and some of the adobo sauce, and let that all cook together before adding the beef and liquids. I forgot the worchechshire so I am going to give that a blast now. I put it in the oven on low all night, and today I got out the boat motor and pureed it because I like it that way. Now all I need is a bag of Fritos for Frito Chili Pie. But the flavor profile I wanted is there. I am glad I wrote all this down, I have always been the Queen of Change or Adaptation!
