BOB'S LITTLE KNOWN, LESS CARED ABOUT CHILI

Bob's Little Known, Less Cared About Chili image

Savory, smoky, easy-to-make chili. Sometimes I add a can of corn, too. Maybe have some sweet corn bread muffins with honey on the side. You could use black beans, pinto beans, pink beans, or small red beans in place of the kidney beans.

2 cups water
¼ cup chili powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:
