WARNING | PLEASE NOTE:
The best way to thicken any chili is to allow it to cook for longer. If you follow this recipe and allow the chili to cook for 4-6 hours on Low, you should be left with perfectly thickened chili.
However, if the chili is too thin for you, add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it quickly.
