Recipe Tips
- This easy chili con carne recipe keeps well in the fridge so you can cook up a large batch and enjoy it the next day. It also freezes nicely, so if you want to stock up for those lazy nights, then this is a great recipe for doing exactly that.
- Draining any excess fluid after browning the ground beef is an excellent way of reducing the amount of fat in your chili.
- Adding a little bit of sugar helps take away some of the bitterness from the tomatoes.
- You can leave this chili cook for longer than twenty minutes. The longer cooking time will help bring out even more flavor, it's quite common to see a chili cooked in a slow cooker.
