Original Recipe
This chili recipe makes enough to serve ten people. Using almost entirely canned items, you can have a filling, flavorful warm dish. And don’t let the total cook time scare you: The majority of that time is for the ingredients to boil down. For a huge chunk of that time, you just have to monitor it. If you don’t have 10 people to enjoy this with, you can meal-prep it for the week, or use the leftovers to fill tacos or a burrito.
