NOTES

Use a low fat ground beef both for flavor & to keep grease at a minimum (I like sirloin).

Serve with toppings like shredded cheese, minced onion, jalapenos, or mustard.

If you prefer to cook it stovetop, follow the same directions but leave it in a skillet on the stove over medium heat, simmering for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If the chili becomes too thick, you can thin with water or additional ketchup.
