Notes
TIP: Ground meat can be cooked ahead of time in large batches and frozen until you need it. You could use pre-cooked turkey in this recipe if you’d like.
TIP: Adding baking soda helps cut the acidity in the tomatoes.
TIP: If you find your chili is too thick and want to thin it out, add some broth to your ingredients. You can add according to your preference.
