Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be sure to rinse and drain the beans thoroughly before adding them to the pot. This will help to prevent the chili from becoming too starchy.

• Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or chopped onions.
