- Once the ground beef has browned, drain off any excess fat, and add in the green chilies, beans, tomatoes, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, and Tabasco.1 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Tabasco, 1 tsp liquid smoke, 2 tbsp tomato paste
- Then add in the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper
- Bring everything to a boil for a couple of minutes, then reduce heat and let the chili simmer on low for at least 30 minutes. The chili only gets betters as it simmers, so feel free to let it simmer covered for an hour or two.
- This chili is great on its own but is even tastier when it's served with some shredded cheese, chopped white onion, and sour cream.
