Glenda’s Secrets of Success

1. You will probably need more chili powder than the recipe calls for, but add it slowly because the seasonings become stronger as the meat simmers. There are many varieties of chili powder that you can use to vary the taste.
2. You can also add more beans proportionally and different kinds of beans.
