Chili's Chili

By

Chili's Chili is a copycat recipe for the chili served in Chili's Restaurants. I really like it, but I do cut way back on the suggested amount of chili powder.

This is great served in cornbread bowls.

This recipe makes about 2 quarts.

Preparation

Step 1

Saute meat in large saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft. Stir in remaining ingredients except flour, cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove lid and simmer until excess moisture evaporates (don't let it get too dry). Add flour and cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
