Stir to combine.
  4. Season generously with your favorite hot sauce (start with 1-2 tbsp and adjust to taste) and an additional 1/2 - 1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes, depending on your spice preference.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
