Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    A fun way to serve this chili is in mason jars, with corn chips on the bottom and cheese sprinkled on top. With smaller servings, you can serve as many as 12 people with this recipe.
  • tip 2
    If you like spicy chili, add 1 chopped ancho chile with the onion and garlic.
  • tip 3
    Make the chili a day or two ahead and refrigerate, then heat up on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
