Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix?

Cumin
Cumin is the flavor of Chili. I once made a pot, and it just didn’t taste right, it was too tomatoey, too much like spaghetti sauce.
Then I remembered that I had forgotten the Cumin, so I added it, let it cook a while, and it was perfect.
Allow me to share a culinary secret that instantly upped my chili and other Mexican food: Either buy cumin seeds and toast them in a pan on stovetop then grind it, or buy mcCormick brand “organic roasted ground cumin”.
And yeah, definitely the flavor of chili.
