Instructions
- In a large cooking pot, brown the beef and remove any extra grease. Incorporate the onion and garlic, cooking them until they are tender.

- Top with grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Accompany with corn bread.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier chili with less grease.
- Adjust spice level with hot sauce and cayenne to your taste.
- Simmer uncovered longer to thicken chili and intensify flavors.
