How to Make Apocalypse Chili

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 2 cups water, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the pot.
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. (Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency.)
  5. Gradually whisk the flour mixture (roux) into the chili.
  6. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!
