How to Make Apocalypse Chili
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- 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.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 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.)
- Gradually whisk the flour mixture (roux) into the chili.
- Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
