Notes
MAKE YOUR CHILI BETTER
I personally enjoy mine like this. Use the recipe above BUT also add (1) can of Wolf Brand Chili (no beans) and 1 extra pound of cooked ground beef.
Add minced garlic while cooking the beef (I use about 1 tablespoon per one pound of beef). This will make your chili super thick and I love the can of Wolf Brand chili in mine because of the flavors.
TOO THICK? If your chili is TOO thick, just add about 1/4th cup of water or beef stock till desired thin/thickness is reached.
TOPPINGS Don't forget the toppings - diced onions, cheese, sour cream or enjoy dipping with tortilla chips.
