  4. Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer gently for about 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken to perfection.

  5. Serve: Ladle the hot chili into bowls, and if desired, sprinkle each serving with a little shredded Monterey Jack cheese for added richness and flavor.

This wintertime chili is perfect for chilly evenings, and leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
