How to Make Kelly's Chili

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all ingredients.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  4. For a richer flavor, consider simmering for 3-4 hours. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes!
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more chili powder for extra heat, or sugar/brown sugar for extra sweetness.
  6. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, onions, and cilantro.
