Notes

  • This chili can be transferred to a crockpot and kept on low heat for hours until time to serve.
  • For a meatier chili, add in hot dogs or sausages cut into rounds. Leftover steak cubed up is also delicious!
  • Frozen corn kernels also make a great add in.
  • For a spicier chili add in chili flakes.
