Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare chili (ground beef & bean) (Browned ground beef, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and spices, baked uncovered in heavy casserole dish).
2
Cook
Cook for 90–120 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

Pro Tip: Baking chili uncovered in the oven allows radiant top heat to caramelize tomato sugars on the surface for deeper Texas-style flavor.
