Notes

  • This recipe freezes well for future easy meals. Portion cooled chili into freezer-safe containers.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of beef and turkey broth instead of water if the chili seems too thick during the last hour of cooking.
  • Taste the chili before serving and adjust salt or chili powder as needed to achieve your preferred award winning chili flavor.
