What Makes Hearty Stove Top Chili Rich with Flavor? 

 

Taking the time to slow cook this chili for up to 4 hours at a low simmer on the stove top really makes the flavors deepen, making it rich and delicious. The balance of the cayenne pepper (spicy) with the cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar (sweet) makes the flavor more complex and the longer it cooks the richer the flavors become!
