    This chili turned out great but it is a bit thick. In the future, I probably would not drain the beans. I know that will increase the sodium level in the overall recipe but I like a thinner chili. Other than that, the chili is very satisfying and flavorful. I will definitely make this again.

    In regard to boiling.... we're talking water, right? And how much?
