Chili is one of the most famous winter recipes out there, and the beauty of chili is that it's versatile and flexible, you can customize it with any vegetables and toppings.

I have my own personal take on this, and I had the pleasure to host my very first live cooking session with some colleagues / friends and it was fun! We made a hearty beef chili.

Sharing here guidelines to how I made it, you can adjust it to your liking.

I served mine with avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, radishes and a side of homemade oregano garlic flat bread - a hearty and warm meal to be enjoyed with friends or family, or even by yourself!
