Carolina Reaper
Chili Con Carne
This Carolina Reaper chili con carne is very flavorful and quite hot. If you want it even spicier, add a LITTLE more of the crushed chili to the dish. The Carolina Reaper is not only the hottest chili in the world but is as well the tastiest
pepper I have tried so far. I have been growing those super hot chilies for 2 years now and started a while ago to use the dried flakes and powder in many of my recipes. It added a fruity deep flavor to the dishes that I hadn't known from other chilies.
