- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust: After simmering, taste the chili and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the spices according to your preference.
- Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream or shredded cheese.
Notes
Chili can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
