After adding another huge can of kidney beans and a few hours of slow cooking the burn is down to heat so it isn't inedible. Putting on top of a burger was good and paired with some cornbread was actually pretty good. I'll have another helping for supper
This episode has made me realize something about my previous batches of chili - they had flavor and spice but just seemed bland. What I was missing was heat - the kind you get from hot peppers. I didn't add any cumin or chili powder to this batch because there was so much heat. So my next batch will have the sweet peppers and a few (just a few!) more aggressive peppers to add heat along with the cumin and chili powder.
And I made a huge pot so lots of it has ended up in the freezer. Yeah, I'll have Hot Stuff for months to come. It should go great with brown rice.
Know Your Peppers!
