A good chili is meant to be bold and should be exploding with full-bodied flavors and this recipe delivers just that. When the chili has cooked just enough at a simmering reduced heat, it’s time to construct the most perfect chili bowls topped with bacon bits and Sargento® Shredded Double Cheddar Cheese. Every spoonful will be uniquely delightful and cheesy.

- 2 cans (14 oz. each) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup real bacon bits or crumbled cooked bacon
- 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Double Cheddar Cheese or Sargento® Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided
