If you use more tomatoes it will be a bit runnier but it will cook down if you let it simmer longer. It's really just a personal preference as to how thick or soupy you like your chili. Enjoy! This is really a fantastic, go-to recipe that can really be adjusted to suit your personal taste. Caitlyn — I’ve used a 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes with puree and I’ve used a 14.5 oz can of each.

Your version looks delicious too! When substituting the diced tomatoes with crushed tomatoes and tomato puree, did you just use a 14.5 oz can?
