How to Make Tongue Slappin' Chili

Step-by-Step

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.
