I cheat a bit with the seasoning. I have a local butcher that puts out some serious seasoned ground pork. You may want to add a little pepper, cayenne, salt, and sage (yes sage).

If my mustard bbq sauce and a boston butt had a hot orgy with pinto and northern beans, this is what it would look like.

I use the seasoning packs as a starter. I have never followed the directions on the bag or box of seasoning. Their directions will result in a very strong tasting and thick chili.

°Authors Note: If you choose to use Cumin, Oregano or Rosemary in your Chili creation, go easy on these spices as they can easily over dominate your dish.°This dish can also be cooked all day in a crock pot and even freezes well for up to three months for later use.

If you ever made chili then you know someone always says,"real chili doesn't have beans!" The only real ingredients in this chili is maybe some of the spices and salt. Don't say anything just serve it with a smile. See if they can tell. Lol. Then have a good ole laugh. I did a recipe with a bunch of porkchops. My granddaughters don't work with bones. So I cut what I wanted to off and roasted and froze the bones with meat on them.

This is the best-tasting chili that I've ever had. It's nothing adventurous -- just classic and delicious!For fun, add some toppings to your bowl! Some of my favorites include:- green onions- cilantro- home-made mac & cheese- Fritos corn chips- Sour Cream & Cheddar Ruffles potato chips (but go light! Their flavor can be over-powering)- shredded cheddar cheese- and of course regular sour creamMaybe don't try all those toppings at once, but in smaller combinations, they can be delicious! :-)

Hubby wants chili but I want soup

Chili for when it's chilly. This'll warm you up for sure! This makes a thick, hearty chili. I started making it this way years ago after getting bored with our same ole same ole, and deciding to experiment. The hubby loves it with honey butter cornbread (recipe on my profile for that too).

A delicous chili I made when I wanted chili. Feeds a lot, goes quick. Super easy to make.

This took me 4-5 years to perfect. I've been making this every 3 to 4 months for the past 4 years because my friends, family and coworkers are always asking about it, that's why I've named it" RedMan's Famous Chili".

I REALLY wanted to finally make chili powder from scratch and then the subsequent chili.

Im trying to cut down on my carb intake so this was part of my lunch on one of my days off work! Inspired by jalapano popper chicken recipes i saw on pintrest!
