Recipe – Hellhound’s Delight Chili

Before we get into the actual recipe, I should tell you a little bit about Hellhound’s Delight Chili and my inspiration for it. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved hot and spicy food. There is something about both the taste and texture that I absolutely live for. I was the weird girl that would drink tabasco sauce from the bottle during my middle school years (and will admit to still doing this as a bizarre source of comfort). I’ve also learned that raw heat does not always mean good flavor – you don’t simply want to add the maximum amount of hot peppers that you can handle into a chili, it’s possible for it to meet the amount of hotness you want, but the taste just be awful.

In my search for a chili that’s both hot and delicious, Hellhound’s Delight was born!

⚠️ WARNING – VERY HOT ⚠️

Some people are not able to easily tolerate extremely spicy foods. This chili recipe utilizes both Carolina Reaper (1,569,300 Scoville) and Ghost (1,041,427 Scoville) peppers. It is significantly hotter than most recipes you will find for spicy chili on the internet. personally find it delicious; but eat at your own risk! You have been warned!

Without further delay, my new and improved recipe:
