A surefire version of the Mexican dish chili con carne (Spanish for chili with meat), it's delicious even if you're making it for the first time. As the name suggests, the main ingredients are meat and chili peppers. Choose a tougher meat, suitable for braising for several hours, as it's during the long cooking process that the chili develops its rich, unique flavor. Additional ingredients include bell peppers, tomatoes, beans, spices, and, of course, brewed coffee. It brings out the depth of flavor. A little basil instead of the traditional cilantro will make your chili unique. This dish is recommended for serving during sports broadcasts.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Heat olive oil in a very large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and quickly brown the meat in batches on all sides. Transfer the brisket to a separate bowl. Sauté the onion and garlic in the same oil over medium heat until soft but not browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add chili seasoning, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and cumin and sauté for 1 minute. Add the bell pepper, bay leaf, tomatoes with their juices, browned meat, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover tightly, and simmer for 2 hours and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add the coffee, cover, and simmer for another hour.
Add the beans and basil and heat through. Transfer the chili to a large serving bowl and serve with sour cream, grated cheddar, diced tomatoes, corn chips and guacamole.
