Tips

  • You can buy the chuck roast and dice it yourself, or buy it pre-diced as beef stew meat for convenience.
  • The combination of onion, bell peppers, and celery is a nod to the Cajun Trinity, building layers of flavor for the chili.
  • Add lime juice at the very end for a blast of umami flavor.
  • Serve hot and top with your favorite toppings like cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
