  7. Cook the chili covered for 15 minutes on medium-low heat.

Tips/Techniques

OPTIONAL: *The Obama's like to serve this chili over white or brown rice. *Garnish the chili with toppings such as grated cheddar cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, scallions, cilantro, avocado, or corn bread crumbles.
