Step 4 – Season and Simmer
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

- Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- “Letting your chili simmer is crucial. It allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.”

Notes

- For a smokier flavor, try incorporating a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
