Tips:

2. Be sure to use diced tomatoes, not crushed tomatoes. The diced tomatoes will break down more during cooking and create a thicker chili.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when making this chili:
-I prefer to use ground beef that is at least 80% lean. Otherwise, the chili can be too greasy.
-I like to add a can of diced tomatoes for extra flavor and texture, but you can omit this if you prefer.
-If you want a thicker chili, you can add a can of tomato paste along with the diced tomatoes.
-I usually add a tablespoon or two of chili powder to give the chili some heat, but you can adjust this to your liking. Start with less and add more if you want it spicier.
-Be sure to taste the chili before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. I usually add a little salt and pepper at the end.
