Notes

  • Use chips — Though this Joanna Gaines' chili recipe is great enough, you might end up with a chili that is thinner than you’d like. To prevent that, take a handful of those corn chips you’ve been saving for later, crush them, and add the crushed pieces to the pot. They will soak up some of the excess liquid.
 
  • Drain the meat — If you’re going with ground beef, make sure to drain the excess fat before adding the other ingredients. Or don’t, if you like your chili extra oily.
