My Response to Making Crock Pot Chili Thicker:
There are a couple of tricks you can try. First, I'd drain the can of diced tomatoes and discard the juice. Next, I'd increase the amount of ketchup to 1 cup. You could also try adding two tablespoons of tomato paste. Finally, if it's still too watery, transfer the chili to a heavy pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the chili simmer about 15 minutes. Good luck!
