No beans.
Soak your chili peppers in liquid (beef base works here) and let them rehydrate, then puree (stick blender). Fry meat, fry onions and garlic. Add cumin work in and then add chili puree. Add stock, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, chocolate. Adjust seasonings to taste. Eventually add masa to thicken.

Try adding leftover chopped up smoked brisket in addition to your regular meat. We freeze the leftover brisket all spring, summer, and fall specifically for use in chili. The smoke adds another layer of flavor. It’s that’a what chili is all about.

I get the 2 alarm chili kit because normally it is cheaper than buying that much chili powder


Buy a quart of chili powder in spice section or Costco and make chili for 2 years.

It’s a complimentary flavor.

If you understand the pairing of lime and tequila, this concept isn’t much different.

Here’s another complimentary flavor to consider - coffee. Add some instant coffee. Maybe 1-2 Tbs.

Use cubed brisket, not ground meat
Dont use any beans or filler
Add 1oz of baking chocolate per 5lbs of meat
Add beer for any straight liquid you add
Use coriander

That's my advice. Biggest are the first 2 - cubes meat not ground and no beans
