FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

What is chili con carne traditionaly served with?

Chili con carne is often served with rice, cornbread, or tortilla chips. Some also enjoy it over baked potatoes or with warm bread. A chili bowl is a full meal on its own but pairs well with a fresh side salad.

What not to put in a chili?

Avoid ingredients that overpower the spices, like too much sugar, pasta, or raw bell peppers. Beans are optional, depending on the style. Stick to bold flavours and slow-cooked textures for a proper chili.

What to serve with chili for dinner?

For dinner, serve chili with cornbread, nachos, rice, or a crisp coleslaw. You can also offer toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or jalapeños to let everyone customize their bowl.

What toppings are best for chili bowls?

Popular chili toppings include shredded cheddar, sour cream, chopped green onions, avocado slices, and tortilla strips. A sprinkle of cilantro or a squeeze of lime also adds freshness and balance.

How to make chili more flavourful?

To boost flavour, simmer it longer and add spices like cumin, smoked paprika, cocoa powder, or chipotle. Sautéing the onions and garlic first also builds depth. A splash of lime or vinegar at the end brightens it up.
