Notes
Do not add dairy at the beginning of cooking as long heat can affect texture.
Cut the cream cheese into small pieces so it melts evenly.
For a thicker chili mash a small portion of the beans before adding the dairy.
Flavor deepens after resting briefly before serving.
Leftovers taste even better the next day.
