Method

  • This is a tricky recipe, so PAY ATTENTION!
  • ;).
  • Brown meat in bottom of dutch oven along with crushed garlic.
  • When no pink remains, drain the meat, but retain the garlic.
  • Dump the meat back in the dutch oven.
  • Add all the stuff in cans (make sure you put their liquid in, too.).
  • Break up the stewed tomatoes as you put them in so they release their tomatoey goodness.
  • (this would be where you'd add black beans if you're using them).
  • Add Williams Chili Seasoning to the pot, stir it in good so you don't get any clumps.
  • Bring to a simmer, add fresh veggies, seasonings, etc.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings at this time.
  • Simmer for at least an hour on the lowest setting you can.
  • I generally like to reduce it by about a 1/4.
  • Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Serve with Fritos, Corn chips, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, whatever floats your boat.
