Really easy! I made this recipe myself, one of my best so far. It was great. ^^ mm-mm we let it simmer for a really long time, but I think an hour would be good to make sure it's cooked and the flavors in it.

Cook your chili low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Aim to cook your chili for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
