Oh yes, one more thing. If you want thicker chili, here is my secret.
I cannot stand the taste of raw flour, and find arrowroot and corn
starch too finicky.
What I use to thicken soups, stews, and chili is potato flakes.
As far as I am concerned, I would rather starve that eat "instant
mashed potatoes" , however as a thickening agent they work wonders.
You can add a couple of tablespoons, stir, within a minute you know if
that is enough or to add more. You can't taste it and the texture it
adds is perfect.
