For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the chili during the last hour of simmering. Adjust the amount of each pepper to suit your heat preference. Remember that the heat will intensify as the chili simmers. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or green onions.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the kidney beans, chili beans, black beans, and black-eyed peas. Simmer over medium heat. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease, then stir the meat mixture into the pot with the beans. (15 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
Add the green and red bell peppers, yellow and red onions, and minced garlic to the pot, layering them on top of the bean and meat mixture. Cover the pot and allow the vegetables to steam for at least 10 minutes, softening them and releasing their aromatic flavors. (25 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Stir in the chopped jalapeno peppers, chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, serrano peppers, habanero chili peppers, banana pepper, cherry peppers, Anaheim pepper, red Thai chili peppers, green Thai chili peppers, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, and taco seasoning. Season generously with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to your preferred level of heat and taste. (30 minutes)
05
Step
3 hrs
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chili for 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (3 hours 30 minutes)

Jun 24, 2025I cut back on the habaneros because I'm not a huge fan of super spicy food, but it was still incredibly flavorful. Thanks for the great recipe!

Jun 22, 2025This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it always turns out great. I sometimes add a can of corn for extra sweetness.

Jun 10, 2025I made this in my slow cooker and it was so easy! I just browned the meat first and then threw everything in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours.
