Cincinnati Chili Recipe By thekitchn.com

1. Recipe: Cincinnati Chili: (as seen in picture) This is Cincinnati chili – a blend of cinnamon, hot pepper, cumin, and, yes, chocolate. It’s not a gimmick or a mole-wannabe. Cincy chili is rich treat all its own. Recipe from The Kitchn.
2. My Mom’s White Chili: I must admit that I do enjoy the regular old chili myself, but if I was given the choice I would almost always choose this one. It is soo flavourful, spicy, creamy and comforting. And, no tomatoes! Great for those of us who get indigestion just from glancing at a tomato. Recipe from Kitchen Simplicity.
3. Christy’s Crock Pot Chili: Although I dearly love my mother’s chili, I wanted something a bit more involved (in terms of ingredients, not effort!). My favorite chili away from home has always been Wendy’s (yeah, I’m a simple gal), and so I knew when I came across a copycat recipe for their chili, I had found the base I wanted to start from. I’ve tweaked it slightly over the years for my personal taste and for this tutorial I am making it in the crock pot for all of you. Recipe from Southern Plate.
4. Meaty Three-Bean Chili Recipe: Recipe from Taste Of Home.
5. Family’s Favorite Chili: It took years and years of trying different chili recipes and adapting them to our tastes until I found the perfect combination for our family. So, while this recipe is perfect in our eyes (and tastes) maybe it will just be the stepping stone for your new recipe. Recipe from Sunshine Mom.
6. Classic Chili Bowl: This classic chili uses ground turkey and has an interesting blend of herbs and spices. Recipe from Land O’ Lakes.
7. Turkey and White Bean Chili: This cumin-scented turkey chili is healthy and ready in a hurry! Serve with store-bought or homemade corn bread and a green salad. Recipe from Delish.
8. Award-Winning Chili: (chicken) Recipe from Food & Wine.
9. Winter Woods Chili: Recipe from Better Homes & Gardens.
10. Chilli Con Carne: This great chilli has to be one of the best dishes to serve to friends for a casual get-together. Recipe from BBC Good Food.
11. Beef & Black Bean Chili with Chipotle & Avocado: The diced avocado topping makes a cool contrast to the thick, spicy chili. Recipe from Fine Cooking.
12. Beef and Dark Beer Chili: Stout makes the beef taste beefier in this chili. For best results, pick out a five-pound boneless chuck roast and have the butcher grind it for you. Recipe from Epicurious.
13. White Bean Chicken Chili: This chili has become a family favorite over the past year. Hearty and full of flavor, it’s a nice change from the regular tomato based chilis. It was inspired by Paula Dean’s White Bean Chili recipe but since first making it, I’ve deviated a bit and have come up with my own plan of attack. Recipe from She Wears Many Hats.
14. Slow Cooker Chicken Chili: Recipe from Food Network.
15. Vegetarian Chili: This really is the best vegetarian chili (or any kind of chili, really) recipe, honestly. I make a big pot of it just about every other week and freeze it in containers for lunches and dinners. Recipe from Door Sixteen.
16. Seven-Chile Chili: People often ask if my chili is authentic Texas chili. I’ll say yes because I’m a Texan and it’s the chili I grew up eating. Though defining what authentic Texas chili is can be difficult. The term “chili” comes from chile con carne, which translates to peppers with meat. And that’s at heart what I make, with the addition of some spices and aromatics. Recipe from Homesick Texan.
