Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have time to cook the chili for 90 minutes, you can cook it for a shorter amount of time. However, the longer you cook it, the more flavorful it will be.
• To make the chili spicier, add more chili powder or a chopped jalapeno pepper.
• If you want to add some sweetness to the chili, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey.
• Top the chili with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro before serving.
