Tips
- Add additional grated cheese and diced onions on top of each bowl of chili.
- Other condiments that would be good to add after cooking are a dollop of sour cream, chopped chives and rice.
- For a vegetarian chili replace meat with additional beans such as black beans or garbonzo beans and for more flavor add a can of vegetable broth. Also, add more vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.
- If you like extra spice dice up jalapenos and use hot salsa instead of mild.
- This chili recipe makes a great left-over meal. The longer it sits the better the flavors combine.
