Notes
- Brown the beef first on the frying pan, remember to drain excess fat if there is any.
- You can use canned tomato instead of fresh tomato.
- Add some extra secret ingredients to your chili to enhance the flavor if you prefer, for example chocolate, molasses or coffee. Approximately 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of one of these ingredients will be sufficient.
- If you don't have red or black beans use any that you have in your kitchen pantry: pinto, black-eyed, white etc.
