How to Make Tongue Slappin' Chili
- Grab your soup pot and combine all the ingredients, do not cook the ground beef first. By not cooking it first and letting it simmer, it is so tender.
- Bring it to a light boil and simmer about 30 minutes. Add the cornstach to thicken to your preference.
- If you feel like chili mac, boil yourself some noodles, I like the mini penne or small mostacioli noodle. Top it with shredded cheddar and grated parmesan and enjoy
This chili freezes really well, so make a big batch and throw in the freezer.
