Tips for Valentine’s Day:
• Heart-shaped peppers: Cut red bell peppers into heart shapes to add a festive touch to the chili.
• Sweetness: Add a touch of honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness of the chili, balancing the spice.
• Toppings: Serve with toppings like sour cream (or Greek yogurt), shredded cheese, green onion, or sliced avocado.
• Spice level: Adjust the amount of chili powder, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to control the spice level.
• Wine Pairing: Red wine can pair nicely with spicy beef chili.
