Notes

  • PRO TIP: If you prefer yours a little spicier, try with a splash of cayenne pepper. 
  • Do not add salt and pepper until ready to serve. You should find that it won't need any, but add at the end if it does. 
  • If you want a thinner chili, simply add some water. 
  • Serve with the usual chili toppings: onions, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, chips, crackers, etc.
