| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the hamburger until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. |
| 2 | Combine Ingredients: In a crock pot or Dutch oven, combine the browned hamburger, kidney beans, great northern beans, whole tomato (undrained), and sugar. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly. |
| 3 | Stovetop Cooking: If using a Dutch oven, cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 4 | Crock Pot Cooking: Alternatively, if using a crock pot, cover and cook on high for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. |
| 5 | Refrigerate for Best Results: For optimal flavor development, refrigerate the chili for at least 24 hours. During this time, the flavors will intensify, and any excess fat will rise to the surface, making it easier to skim off. |
| 6 | Reheat and Serve: Before serving, reheat the chili on the stove or in the microwave until heated through. Traditionally, Swedish chili is served in a bowl lined with buttered bread for a comforting and hearty meal. Enjoy! |
