Notes
How to Thicken Chili: Tomato paste is used to thicken the chili. If your dish is still too thin, you may add a roux of cornstarch and water to your desired thickness. Add half a cup of water to a bowl and stir in 2 Tablespoons cornstarch until blended smooth. Slowly add the cornstarch, stirring the chili, until thickened. Add this at hour 5 and continue cooking as directed.
