April 3, 2020 at 07:32 PM · Pretty standard stuff there, but it'll be good. I agree with his amount of garlic and onion. That's the base of a good chili. He used canned chipotle which is very good. I use Aleppo peppers, which I add when I am frying the onions, and I like to use Rotel tomatoes which have the green chilies. For the amount of meat he's using, I would use two of the 40-oz cans of Hanover kidney beans, or one can of kidney beans and one can of black beans. I could get a few meals for my family without using a lot of meat that way. I can get more meaty flavor, too, by using a Knorr beef-flavored stock tub, a teaspoon of MSG or Worcestershire sauce. My kids have never liked bell pepper cooked into chili. I enjoy it, but in deference to them I would instead add a bag of frozen corn.
