Notes

Omit the crushed red pepper flakes for a milder chili. **Add cayenne pepper for more ‘heat’ in your chili.
For increased depth of flavor, use a few tablespoons of cornmeal instead of the typical slurry of cornstarch (or additional flour) to thicken your chili.

**Tomatoes are a natural thickening agent if you’re on a specific diet (such as keto, paleo, low-carb, or gluten-free).

To thicken your chili, omit the flour and add extra tomatoes, then let them boil down.

I recommend adding 14 teaspoons of cayenne pepper at a time until the desired flavor is achieved.
