The spices in this recipe give the chili a robust and spicy flavor, and the canned tomatoes, beans, and chilies make it taste like it was cooked from scratch. Served with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, or diced avocado, this chili can be made in big batches and enjoyed for days. It is perfect for football game watching parties, potlucks, or family dinners.
