If you like minced meat dishes, Chili with Meat could become one of your favorites. This dish is popular in Texas and Mexico where it was once made by American settlers, and from where it spread around the world. The translation reads chili with meat, but even though chili is retained in the name, the dish is also made with regular paprika today.
Of course, you can choose between hot and mild versions, so if you want something spicier, feel free to add some hot pepper (in addition to chili, you can also use pepperoni) or hot ground pepper. I’m more of a supporter of milder varieties, so I didn’t put any spicy ingredients in my recipe, but it’s something that everyone can easily adapt to their taste anyway.
Soup Base for Excellent Chili with Meat
As a combination of easily available and tasty ingredients, Chili with Meat is a dish that is not overly demanding and is prepared quickly and easily. Along with minced meat, which can be pure beef or mixed, the main ingredients are peppers, beans and corn, but there is a whole range of ingredients that give this dish a rich taste.
A good Chili with Meat also requires a quality soup base. If you can, definitely use homemade soup, but in a hurry, you can also use soup from a cube and thus save time. No matter what you decide, this is an extremely tasty meal that is not too high in calories, and it shows that even such fine snacks can be eaten without remorse.
