Note

This recipe was the $25,000 winner from Betty Crocker's International Chili Society in 1989.

Storage: Allow chili to cool completely before refrigerating. It will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.

Tip: Top round is a lean cut that benefits from long, slow cooking to become tender. Do not rush the simmering process.

Variation: For a heartier texture, you can add a can of drained kidney beans during the last hour of cooking.
