Ingredients:  
1 1/2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 poblano pepper, diced (deseed if you like)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoons chili powder
15 ounces crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon Morton Season All Seasoned Salt

Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and saute for 5 minutes, until tender and golden. Add the garlic and poblano pepper and saute another minute, until fragrant. Add the cumin and chili powder and saute another 2 minutes.
Lower heat to medium-low and stir in the crushed tomatoes and broth (reserve 1/4 cup of broth), scraping to remove any browned bits in the pan. Add the remaining ingredients except the cornstarch and toppings.
In a small bowl whisk together the reserved 1/4 cup of broth and the cornstarch until smooth. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the chili pot. Stir until well mixed. Bring chili to a boil for 2 minutes and then lower heat to low. Simmer over low heat uncovered for one hour. Then, simmer covered with a lid for 30 minutes.
Serve topped with your choice of toppings.

Chili is one of my favorite meals. It is always perfect for a fall or winter day. Don't feel like you have to be precise with the ingredients - it is hard to mess up this chili.
