Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Spicy Fruity Chili.
Step 1
Start by combining the tomato sauce, kidney beans, two tablespoons of chili powder, one tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a large saucepan. Stir it all together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. This is where the magic begins, as the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 2
While that simmers, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet, seasoning it with the remaining two tablespoons of chili powder, one tablespoon of sugar, and another pinch of cayenne if you like it spicy. Cook the beef until it’s nicely browned, then transfer it to the simmering sauce mixture. This adds a hearty depth to your chili.
Step 3
In a small skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped red onion and sauté until it’s slightly browned and fragrant. Add this to the sauce along with the chopped apple, peach, and banana pepper. Let everything simmer together for another one to two minutes until it’s all heated through and the fruits have softened just a bit. This step adds a delightful sweetness to your chili, balancing the spices perfectly.
