I am making chili today and thought about adding about 1/8 cup of corn shucked from the cob that I have just lying around in the freezer.
Has anyone included corn in their chili?
So, what ingredients do you put in your chili? Include spices please.
I don't like corn in other dishes.
I don't put garlic either.
But the traditional chili, ground beef, kidney beans, chili powder, some cayenne powder to jazz it up. a few onions (in big pieces so I can fish them out). That's about it.
I've added corn and chopped celery and even some chopped carrots, but mostly I do the basic and loads of onions as I so enjoy eating them. For sauce I use can of tomatoe sauce or can of progresso tomato basil and of course ground beef and chili beans. Nice and spicy.

Yes, I add at the very last. The sweetness of the corn adds a lot to the finished dish, IMO. You don't have to do anything except dump it in. The corn will soften in the hot dish, and be perfect.
I usually have lots of kinds of chili powders with various heat levels, so I add them all. Ancho, cayenne, aleppo and urfa are currently in the mix. Cumin and coriander for sure. Also sumac and all spice. Tomatoes, onions and garlic. Piquillo peppers if they happen to be around too. Bacon fat. Smoked paprika.
almost anything I would think. That is how I have done it. Carrots, onions, garlic, sugar snaps, and whatever. I don't think chili is one of those fussy dishes.
I make different sorts of chili. Everyday chili is made with ground hamburger, canned black beans and garbanzos, a small amount of canned tomatoes, canned chiles or some chipotle, onion, green pepper and jalapeño and chili powder.
White chili I have made in the slow cooker using turkey tenderloin, canned green chiles, a small amount of tomato, ground NM chili pepper and a few other ingredients including Mayo de Coba or great northern beans cooked from dry.
Old fashioned chili I make with coarsely chopped beef (if I can get it), pintos cooked from dry, jalapeño, green pepper, onion, chili powder of my choice (Penzeys has several great blends) and a small amount of canned tomato. I might toss frozen corn kernels in shortly before serving. I love adding canned chipotkes for smoky heat. I like my chili to slightly burn my throat.
I do chili to my taste. Haven’t made a ground turkey chili in a long time, but used to years ago.
Does anyone else make cornbread to serve with their chili?

I agree with the cook who mentioned a dash of cocoa, I sometimes add a bit of anchovy paste too. You'll never taste anchovy but it adds a depth of flavor.

Both good tops. Anchovy paste adds depth of flavor to meat loaf too.

Well, you know I do, since I just added it before your response in the Things That Go Together thread.
