Notes
Miss the beans? Diehard bean lovers can throw in a can of kidney beans or even a can of garbanzo beans or corn.
Keep an eye on it: The chili is supposed to gently simmer for half an hour, but look at it often to check it isn't scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pan, and give it a good stir every now and then.
Serve toppings separate: Offer a choice of toppings on the side and that way everyone can add their own favorite chili toppings. Shredded cheese, avocado slices, sour cream, cilantro, and green onions are just some of your topping options.
