Directions

1

["1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-low (4 out of 10 on my stove). Heat until hot.", "2. Add garlic, and then about 30 seconds later, add onions and the bell pepper. Stir occasionally until edges are soft.", "3. Add the spices. The amount is up to you, but I started with 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons taco seasoning, oregano, and a sprinkling of the red pepper and garlic salt. Stir together with the vegetables. At this point I also added the butter.", "4. Add the tomatoes (WITH THE JUICE!) stir and then drain the two cans of beans. Just strain them with the can's top, that way a small amount of the liquid stays with them. Add them to the pot.", "5. For a thick chili, turn up the heat to a little more than medium (6 on my stove), keep the cover off, add some Parmesan cheese and let it reduce (get thicker). For a soupy chili, keep the lid on. The taco seasoning will help to thicken the chili as well, so use sparingly.", "6. Stir and \"taste-test\"" frequently
