That $5 chili trick my coworker swore by actually paid off
My coworker Dave kept telling me to add a spoonful of instant coffee to my chili, and I finally tried it last Sunday for our potluck... it gave the whole pot this deep richness without costing anything extra. The pot was empty in 20 minutes and three people asked for the recipe. Anyone else got a weird cheap ingredient tip that turned out to be a secret weapon?
