Notes
- Sear the roast: Don’t skip this step! Browning the meat first adds a great deal of flavor to the chili.
- Prevent scorching: Stir the mixture occasionally while it simmers, as tomato products are prone to sticking and burning.
- Adjust the thickness: If it’s looking a little too thick, splash in some beef broth or water until it’s just right.
