Step 1
Start by heating a large pot over medium heat and adding the ground beef, ground turkey, and chopped onion. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the meat is fully browned and the onions are soft—this usually takes about 10 minutes. Next, toss in the kidney beans, baked beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Sprinkle in the chili powder, garlic (both fresh and powder), cinnamon, salt, and pepper, then give it a good stir to mix all those flavors. Turn the heat down to low and let the chili simmer gently for at least an hour, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom. After the first 30 minutes, give it a taste and adjust the seasonings if you think it needs more kick or seasoning. The longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors will meld together, so if you have time, let it go longer and enjoy!
