Rich and savory Terlingua Chili, also known as Terlingua Red Chili, is a simple and delicious beef chili. Beef broth, tomato sauce, and ground beef combined with Terlingua chili mix (no packet needed!) do the heavy lifting here, and simmering over low heat for at least an hour does the rest.

Add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 20 ounces beef broth to the pot.
Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
