What’s Your Secret Ingredient When Making Homemade Chili?

@Mamapolo2016 the best chili recipe I ever made had baking cocoa in it

@Mamapolo2016 I’ll have to try that 😊👍🏼

@cherokeepatti Depends on how much chili you're making. I'd start with a teaspoon and taste.

@SW-User all that combined would trigger heartburn something fierce for me. The ginger helps with the chili spices. I can’t even drink a single cup of chocolate-flavored coffee without it triggering heartburn.

@4meAndyou I use a bit of cornmeal to thicken the chili.

@hunkalove what types of beans do you use?

@greenmountaingal I started craving ginger when I was first showing signs of having rheumatoid arthritis almost 30 years ago. I had it every day in some form for many years. It also helps with digestion and keeps my stomach from getting so inflamed from eating spicy foods.

@Montanaman haha yeah
