The kitchen table

Kitchen Table Chili

The pot I actually make, scaled to whatever you’ve got.

Thick, well spiced and kid-approved — the heat is in parts you can leave out. Set how much you’re cooking and every amount follows, down to the size of pot.

How much beef have you got?

1 lb
of 80/20 ground beef
