Notes

Serve over toasted buns, and top with cheese.
I side this with tortilla chips
This is a great base recipe, one can omit the chili's and add oregano, basil and more tomato sauce for a basic pasta sauce.
That sauce and be lengthened with veggie stock to form a tomato soup.
Or adding additional chili powder and cumin can form a decent vegetarian chili.
