Beef Taco Chili

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 7 hours YIELD: 6 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
This is one of my husband's absolute favorite dishes. It was voted best chili at our county's autumn harvest festival. If you like less broth, use just 1-3/4 cups water and 1-1/2 tsp. bouillon. —Dana Beery, Ione, Washington
