Expert Tips

• Remember to trim the fat from the beef. Some fat in the chili is fine, but large pieces of fat left on the outside of the beef will make the chili greasy.
• Make it your own – for extra heat, use shredded pepper Jack cheese instead of Cheddar, or top with diced avocado, sliced radishes and green onions for extra freshness and crunch.
