Recipe Hints:
How to cut a clove of garlic if you do not have a garlic press.
Take a clove from a bulb of garlic. Take off its papery skin. Lay it flat on a cutting board and with the side of the knife pressed against it, smash it. This squishes it. Then take your knife and chop it.
If you only have one can of beans, that's okay, just use the one.
If Chili becomes too dry while simmering add water or chicken stock until you get the right consistency
You can throw any veggies you want in there....frozen corn is good, carrots, green beans.
Freeze extra chili. Will keep in fridge for two days.
