Chili

I have made this for years I do not measure any of the ingredients so it does vary batch to batch. Any left over can be put in freezer.

Great chili recipe that can be made stove top or in crockpot. Crockpot is highly recommended!

This is an easy dish to Prepare.

Soooooo yummy :)

Adjust seasonings to personal liking, can be spicy if followed exactly.

My original chili recipe.

The whole family loved it!

Chili is always good on a cold day. New year's day make a big pot invite friends

I wanted chili to taste different. Different, only better.

Mostly Denny's recipe, with alterations.

I found this recipe on the Internet. It has a very balanced taste. Not overly hot nor overly sweet. This is the best chili I’ve had in a long time.

This recipe was modified from serious eats. I use coarsely ground chuck instead of short ribs as it's less work and you dont have to pick through bones and chop hot meat. You can substitute 1/2 cup chile powder for the whole chiles, but you'll lose complexity. Quality dried chiles will be pliable and bend. You can also use 3 15oz cans of beans instead of dried, but they wont have as good of texture. Finally, if you have the time/space, you can add the beans directly to the chili base with 2 cups additional water and cook them in the sauce 2-4 hours in an oven at 225 F for wonderfully flavorful beans.

This is my mother's recipe. It has spoiled me for all other chili because it so thick and hardy.

One of my favorites to make during the cold seasons!
