I do my Chili a little differently....
I don't use ground beef; I prefer stew meat. Cut it into small-ish pieces. Brown with a little bacon and some white onion.
Use a long hot dog fork to roast green and red peppers over an open fire. Sweat them in a zip lock bag. Peel the outer skin off, de-seed and chop. They make a great addition.
I also like to make buttermilk biscuits on the side... bake in a Dutch Oven. You can also fry them with a pat of butter in a skillet. Use a pie pan to keep the heat in so they bake. Flip them over so both sides get buttery. Yum.

I also do things a bit different as well. it is not 100% hand made but only because I am not adding the chili powder myself so to speak.
I start off with Pinto beans. soaked over night.
start those in a slow cooker in the morning 8am on high
About 11am brown up 1lb. of bacon
add 1 onion diced evenly
add 2 cloves fresh garlic or 2tsp pre minced garlic
1 hot pepper seeded and diced (what ever you usually like by itself except peppercini)
Add to bean pot
@ 1pm brown 1lb burger (elk is preferred but lean beef works great to)
now here is where store bought stuff comes into play
I call it brick chili cause it used to come in little red bricks. now it is stored in butter looking tubs. add 2 of the tubs to the burger simmer for 6-7 minutes and spoon into crock pot leaving as much of the grease out as possible.
stir everything up and let cook until at least 4pm.
salt and pepper to taste
Variations include stew instead of burger. caned diced tomatoes. Lee Roys dippin sauce (hot). favorite hot sauce (not Tabasco). add/ subtract peppers.
This makes for some awesome chili beans. biscuits like above or honey corn bread. (skillet baked is best). also fried red potatoes using olive oil is a great addition to this meal.

• 1 medium vidalia onion
• 1 medium bermuda onion
• Coarsely chopped fresh garlic to your taste
• Finely chopped fresh cilantro
• Peeled fresh tomatoes
• Black beans
• Kidney beans
• Pinto beans
• Coarsely chopped mushrooms
• Fire roasted Hatch, NM green chiles, peeled & coarsely chopped
• Ground cumin, ground oregano, ground Chimayo, NM red chile powder, sea salt, ground chipotle... adjust quantities to your taste.
Low simmer for several hours. Serve topped with sour cream and a mix of chopped fresh cilantro and scallions. Nicely chilled Mexican beer is essential. Crispy cornbread sticks are mandatory.
Texas has given American Popular Culture some great music – Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Ely, T-Bone Walker – come to mind. Chili? Not so much. Beans are essential to good chili. Beanless is as boring as the Texas Panhandle.

Hmm, I missed this thread. :sombrero:
I cook about 12 gallons of different chili every year for our annual Christmas chili party. Several years ago I started using this recipe as the foundation.
It's a great starting point and you can easily tweak it in whatever direction you want to go.

simple, easy Chili.
Dice up a couple clove bits of garlic
2lbs of meat. I use 1lb beef and 1lb pork or whatever I've got at the moment
Brown it with your choice of chili powder and the garlic.
open a can of diced tomatoes
open a can or two of beans
1 can of tomato paste
dice up a small onion
Pour it all in after the meats browned, lower heat and cook for about an hour. Add more chili powder to you taste. Maybe a couple/few drops of hot sauce while it's cooking.
Ladle into a bowl, add some cheese and grab your crackers.
