Personal Notes:
Minor variations: To make the chili hotter, add cayenne
pepper or Tabasco sauce. For a thicker sauce and fuller
flavor, add masa (corn flour). to improve the flavor, let the
chili simmer longer, chili often tastes even better the second
day, afer its ingredients have had a chance to blend
overnight.
Beanless chili: Follow the basic recipe. Omit the beans;
use 2 lb. of lean ground beef and 3/4 tsp. salt.
