Add the broth or water, and the remaining canned ingredients. Stir well.
Add the chili powder, cumin, sugar, pre-minced garlic, smoked paprika, cinammon, pepper, and optional cayenne. Stir until well combined.

Remove the pot from the heat. Let the chili rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Let cool completely before storing in airtight containers in the fridge.
