Thickening Chili tip??
I make homemade chili and want to use leftovers for chili dogs. I don't like doing this because the liquid soaks into the hotdog buns. Anyone have a tip for making it thicker?

Potato flakes will do it without adding flavor and blends nicely. For a gallon of very loose chili add 1/4 cup flakes stirring thoroughly. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes and check viscosity. If still too soupy add more flakes a tablespoon at a time.
For smaller amounts of chili add a tablespoon at a time and wait 5 minutes to check the thickness. Add more if still too soupy, waiting 5 minutes between each tablespoon until you have the desired viscosity.
