• Add tomatoes, tomato paste and beans.
• Add picante sauce, barbecue sauce, diced green chilies.
• Add any additional chili powder and/or red pepper flakes.
• Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or more. I have let this simmer for up to 2 hours and the longer it sits, the yummier it gets. It's great the next day, and the day after, too!
• Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese on top. Eat with the Frito Scoops if you are feeling adventurous enough to dig in without a spoon.
• Optional - Make a box of mac 'n cheese and ring your chili bowl with it before spooning in the chili. Delectable!
