Notes
This chili gets better the longer it simmers and thickens. Just be sure to stir frequently to prevent it from burning or sticking to the pan.
Serve chili on hot dogs, bratwurst, hamburgers or grilled sausage.
Variations & Substitutions
- Use ground turkey or ground pork in place of ground beef.
- For a more beefy flavor, use beef broth instead of water
- Substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder for minced garlic
