Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown and drain the hamburger meat and chopped onions.
- Add all ingredients except the beans to a pot.
- Cook on low heat, simmering for at least an hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, allow the chili to simmer longer than the hour suggested; this enhances the depth of the spices. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the hamburger meat for a leaner option. If you prefer a different heat level, consider using a milder pepper or adjusting the chili powder.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty chili with cornbread or over rice for a filling meal. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with Judy'S Ham Rolls for a perfect comfort food combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in portions. When reheating, warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in short intervals until heated through.
