that sets your recipe apart from the rest?

I'm going coffee...It just makes it so much better!

Never used chocolate but a lot of recipes call for it.

I like to use chicken broth instead of water or beef broth. It’s counterintuitive, but a lot of recipes call for it and it just smooths out the taste.

Counterintuitive but not a bad idea. I've seen a lot of recipes call for chicken stock when you would think beef would be more appropriate

I actually use both...I like spicy so the key to me is keeping the heat at the right temp and the darker color

I use three different grinds of beef for a variety of textures. Some standard ground beef, some chili ground beef and stew meat diced to about 1/4-1/2 inches.

I add roasted pepitas to my spicy chili for a little crunch. Don't knock it till you try it.

Making a sauce from dried chili's instead of using chili powder.

Different dumps of spices at staggered times during cooking. Smoked brisket in addition to diced stew meat and ground.

I like coffee and dark chocolate.

Cumin is a must.

If you don't mind the trouble, using dried chilis is great.

I like Pasilla chilis.

You don't use much. Same with coffee. You want just enough flavor so that it adds something, but a taster might not be able to identify what that flavor is.

Yep, like I've said before, I make my own chili mix by grinding dried peppers. But you could toss in 3 or 4 cascabels, a couple of passilas and a Chipotle and that would punch up your flavor. Let them hydrate and pull them out before serving. Your mileage may vary.

Amazing how one of these can season a whole pot of chili

Beef fat from around the kidneys(leaf fat). It’s like concentrated beef flavor, you don’t need much to flavor the whole pot.

High abv stout or porter and (don't kill me) hot breakfast sausage with cubed chuck.

Those and the already mentioned dried pepper paste.

I marinate diced chuck roast in liquid fajita marinade. Also use Mexican Rotel and at the end brown sugar to taste, makes a spicy and sweet chili
