Onions, garlic, chili powder, cayenne powder, smoked paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sauté the onions, add the garlic, then add fresh peppers, add all the spices, add tomatoes, add the browned meat.
Chili is pretty simple. The key thing to get right is the spices and salt. If the flavour is weak then add more. Keep tasting and adjusting until it’s good.
This is the way. I also find throwing in a bit of ancho chile pepper tastes amazing if you like some extra spice and smokiness. Sliced mushrooms are also great in chili if you like them

Anchos and chipotles are worth their weight in gold! It’s my goal to learn how to smoke and dry my own.
I always put mushrooms in chili for the textural contrast and for the extra savouriness but I think it’s blasphemy to purists.
