How To Make homemade chili

  • 1
    Drain and puree tomatoes, put all ingredients in large pot (do not cook the ground beef first) If you like more spice, you can add some crushed red pepper.
  • 2
    Bring to a low boil, turn heat to simmer for about an hour. I usually thicken about 10-15 minutes before serving. I use cornstarch, about 2tbsp, you can use more or less, too your liking

    It's ready, makes excellent chili mac if you want to cook noodles or is great by itself I always add a pint of corn, it really is awesome. But that's totally up to you. You can also add things like corn, green peppers, if you want more veggies, add some shredded carrots, or zucchini
