Remove from heat. Allow the chili to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeño pepper along with the garlic.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference.
Serving suggestions: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with cornbread or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in beef chuck roast. Just be sure to remove the bones before serving.
If you don't have beef broth on hand, you can substitute with an equal amount of water and a beef bouillon cube or two.

Jan 1, 2025I added a can of diced tomatoes and it was a great addition, though not traditional!

Mar 17, 2024I found it a bit too spicy for my kids, so I reduced the chili powder by a tablespoon and it was perfect.
