I made chili again tonight for the Super Bowl. I only changed a couple of things, but it helped.
First, I added 4 stalks of celery, diced small. I sautéed them when I sautéed the onions and bell pepper.
The second thing I did, after it had cooked for awhile and I realized it still wasn't right, was add carrot! Yep, carrot! It gives it a bit of sweetness, which toned down the canned tomatoes and paste. I grated the carrots in my food processor. It really did work. I grated three large carrots. It looked like a lot, but it wasn't.
Next time, I will try to add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar when I add the rest of the spices!
I'm getting closer... Might not get it this chili season, but I should have it by next year!
