Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1.5 cups of chili. Actual calories will vary.
- See our nutrition disclaimer.
- We don't use broth in this recipe based on our preference, but feel free to add beef or chicken broth if you'd like a thinner chili. You may want to add a little broth to the chili while it simmers if it appears to thicken too much.
- Some brands of chili powder is spicier than others. If desired, start with less and add more once the chili finishes cooking for more heat.
