      Hi Johnny, We actually do not add water to this recipe. We like our chili to be chunkier but you could start with 1/2 cup if you want more liquid. I hope this helps!

          So glad you liked it! 🙂 If you have a few minutes, could you rate the recipe? We recently moved platforms and lost our comments/ratings for all of our recipes!
