Turn down the heat. Simmer for about 2 hours.

fridge_chili
For best results, allow your chili to cool overnight in the fridge, so the flavors can blend together.

Then…

To reheat and serve, add ½ cup water (or more, for desired consistency) and simmer on low, covered for 30 minutes or until heated through. You can also pop it into the microwave. ;)

tortilla_chili
Betty serves her Chiliball Chilibowl with a little sour cream, cheddar cheese and chopped onion on top, and a few tortilla chips on the side. This recipe makes four generous Chilibowls or six “I’m saving room for beer” Chilibowls.

close_dog_chili
Betty makes her Chiliball Chilidog with a squirt of yellow mustard, a generous spoonful of chili and chopped onions. This is enough Chiliball Chili to make enough Chilidogs for a dozen of your friends.

Double or triple the recipe to accommodate your needs. Happy Chiliball Season!

    Wow! Super Duper love this… the tastes of hot dogs and cheese are just so great! I’m going to make myself for snack. This is better than those from fastfoods. :)
