Notes
I usually fill the empty 8-oz can of tomato sauce with water and add that. You can add more or less, according to your preference
Chili can be transferred to a slow cooker and kept warm on low until ready to eat.
If you prefer a thicker chili, remove lid and allow to simmer until liquid reduces.
