cooked, add the chili beans, kidney beans, and tomatoes.\u00a0 Fill the can from the chili beans half way with water and pour into the chili, getting any remaining chili sauce from the inside of the can.\u00a0 Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 4 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally.\u00a0 The longer that you cook it, the thicker the chili will be.\u00a0 Serve as is or add cheese, sour cream, jalape\u00f1o peppers or any of your favorite toppings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_982\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-982\" style=\"width: 900px\"
