Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces; drain excess fat if needed.

- Add the crushed tomatoes, beans, and beef broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes
Simmering gives the spices time to blend and thickens the chili.
