Cooking:

Simmering:
- Drain and rinse the red kidney beans, then add them to the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serving:
- Serve the Chili Con Carne hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, diced onions, or a dollop of sour cream. It pairs wonderfully with rice, cornbread, or tortilla chips.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the chili.
- If you prefer a thicker chili, you can mash some of the beans with a fork or potato masher to help thicken the sauce.
- This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
