Chili is a staple in this house. I’ve made it on the stove, in the slow cooker and in the pressure cooker. When I make chili on my stove top, I like to use my Lodge 5 Quart Dutch Oven, as, well, all things taste better in cast iron.
If you want a thicker chili, just simmer until you achieve the desired consistency.
My husband loves his chili over rice and I prefer it in a bowl with a scoop of sour cream. However, I started using Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream.

Also curious about the grape nuts. Is it for flavor? Thickener? Or?
For this recipe it helps keeps moisture in the turkey as turkey is very dry. Jill
Jill, I’m sure you know this. Even though your recipe is called Tex-Mex Chili, Texas Chili doesn’t contain beans. Beans are a side dish. As a native Texan, my chili doesn’t have beans in it. However, it’s your recipe so it’s up to you. You have never steered me wrong before.
Can you tell me why you use Grape-Nuts in yours?
Thanks for your recipes and your site.
When chili says chili, it is implied there are beans. For Texas chili, it is called Chili without beans. I wrote about this in my other chili article and way back when, there were beans in chili first and then things changed. Jill
