No doubt about that, try simmering for a while till the liquid reduces or mix a slurry made of corn starch and cold water with it to make it thicker without spoiling the flavor. This has always worked well for me.

A good tip is to let your chili simmer uncovered for a bit. This will reduce the liquid and thicken it naturally. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t dry out!

What I like about on how I thicken my hot dog chili by mashing up some beans or finely chopping veggies like carrots or bell peppers can help thicken the chili and add some extra nutrition.

great tips! Simmering always does the trick for me too, and the cornstarch slurry is a game-changer. Thanks for sharing!
