Texas Chili with Beans
You may be thinking, "Texas Style Chili with Beans?! Texas Chili doesn't have beans." Traditionally, it doesn't. But the one thing Texas Style Chili does have is maximum flavor. It has a higher meat ratio and a true depth to it that a lot of other chili doesn't have. With a few shortcut ingredients in this recipe, you'll have an amazing Texas Style Chili (with beans!) that only needs to simmer for 20 minutes.

Notes
- food processor
- Use a food processor or chopper to cut up the onion. This will help you get really small pieces so that you can still have the flavor of the onion in the dish without anyone biting into a large piece of onion.
- The longer you let the chili simmer, the better it will taste! You really only need about 20-30 minutes because of some shortcut ingredients, but the longer the better.
