Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid before adding the cream cheese, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with the liquid, and then stir it back into the chili before adding the cheese.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other seasonings.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep and freezes nicely.
