More About This Recipe

  • This southwestern beef chili with corn is packed with tasty ingredients that make it one of the heartiest and most flavorful chili recipes you’ll ever make. One of the key ingredients is the poblano pepper. Never had poblano peppers before? They are extremely popular in Mexico and the United States and readily available at grocery stores. They aren’t as hot as jalapeños, but have a mild kick, making them a good down-the-middle choice for chili that you serve to a crowd of people. If you want more heat, you can easily garnish this chili with chopped jalapeños. This southwestern take on chili is just the beginning!
