Notes

  • Adjust the ingredients — As you might have easily noticed, our Zippy’s chili recipe calls for various kinds of herbs and spices. While you should be just fine with using the given amounts, feel free to increase or decrease the amounts according to your taste. 
 
  • Pay attention to the vegetables — This goes for onion, garlic, celery, and peppers alike. Make sure that you prepare them in accordance with our Zippy’s chili recipe, chopping and cutting them the right way. Also, keep in mind that the vegetables should be cooked until soft and tender for the best experience possible.
