How to Make Sensational Chili

4. Add the Garlic

Garlic will blend with the savory taste of the onion and give your ground beef a nice flavor boost. Remove the first few layers of skin from four or five cloves of garlic, place them in a small bag and smash them with the heal of your hand or a mallet. Rub them between your fingers to break up the cloves. Take the cloves from the bag, remove the remaining layers of skin and thinly slice the garlic with a sharp chef’s knife. Gather the garlic slices together and mince them by chopping them repeatedly with your knife until the pieces are very fine. Add the minced garlic to the meat and onion, simmer on low heat and stir until well blended and aromatic.
