How to make it

This is all done in one pot, and it's helpful to use extra lean ground beef if you can, so that you don't have to drain a bunch of liquid out. If you don't have lean, that's ok though. Start by sautéing the ground beef, onion and garlic clove in a pot on medium high heat until the beef is browned and onions are soft (photo 1).

How Long to Simmer Chili

Simmer everything on a medium to medium high simmer for 30-45 minutes, until thickened (photo 3). Please note, medium high may be too high on your stove, so if it's bubbling violently, turn it down to medium or remove it from the heat earlier than the 30-45 minutes. You can also keep simmering chili up to all day long on the lowest simmer possible, but be sure to stir it every hour or so.
