Notes
Can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
For a spicier chili, substitute a can or two of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles for one of cans of diced tomatoes.
I prefer to use dried minced onion. Feel free to substitute fresh diced onion. You can also add bell peppers if you would like.
