    The best chili you can get with the least amount of effort is Bush's Chili, I like the "hot" kind.

    Mine is expensive but good.

    I cook (most of) the hot stuff in a separate pot and let each person roll his own heat.

    I cheat and use Carol Shelby's chili mix, you can find it in most well stocked stores. Here is what I do.
    Pan cook: 2 Lb Bacon
    2 Lb Ground Beef
    Grill: 2 Lb Steak
    2 Lb Chicken

    Cube all meat

    Place all meat into a large crock pot and add:
    2 bags of chili mix
    2 large cans of diced tomatos, no juice
    2 large cans of Ortega Chilis, no juice

    Set crock pot on low for 12 hrs

    add 1 Lb of Velveta cheese w/ japalinos

    cook for 1 hour on high

    Serve with non-salted tortilla chips

    It may not be traditional, but I always get rave reviews when I make it

    Well, I don't measure a whole lot--but this is pretty much what I refer to as my "can-opener" chili:

    3lbs ground beef
    2 onions (white, red, yellow, whatever) diced, or run through the food processor until semi-chunky mush
    1 large can diced tomatoes
    4 cans Ro-Tel (or Red Gold, or whatever's on sale) tomatoes & green chilis
    2 cans dark red kidney beans
    A whole buncha garlic (to taste)
    Black pepper
    Salt (if it needs it)
    Chili Powder
    Cumin--tons and tons of cumin
    Tabasco sauce (I use about 10 healthy splashes--you can cut down if you choose--or even omit it)
    1 bottle of a strong, sweet dark beer (Bridgeport Blackstrap Stout is particularly good--as is Spaten Optimator).

    Brown the ground beef & onions. Throw everything else into a crock-pot, add the beef & onions and let 'er cook for at least a couple hours. Taste often, and season accordingly.

    For chili dogs, I usually leave out the beans.

    I admit, not a purist's chili--but is pretty darn good if I may say so m'self.

    This is a hilarious story of a Yankee who filled in as a judge at a Texan Chili Cookoff. I'm not sure if it's true, but it'll have you laughing out loud before you finish it.[:D]

    A Texas Chili Contest

    Warning - If you can read this whole story without laughing out loud,
    then there's no hope for you. I was crying by the end.

    Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the
    first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better.

    For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They
    actually have a chili cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It
    takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio city park.


    The notes are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was
    visiting from Springfield, IL.

    Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cooking contest. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted." Here are the scorecards from the advent: (Frank is Judge #3)


    Chili # 1 Eddie's Maniac Monster Chili...
    Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
    Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
    Judge # 3 -- (Frank) What the hell is this stuff?! You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put out the flames. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy!



    Chili # 2 Austin's Afterburner Chili...
    Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
    Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor; needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
    Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted
    to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they
    saw the look on my face.


    Chili # 3 Ronny's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...

    Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.
    Judge # 2 -- A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
    Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting pie-eyed from all of the beer...


    Chili # 4 Dave's Black Magic...
    Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
    Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish, or other mild foods; not much of a chili.
    Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?


    Chili # 5 Lisa's Legal Lip Remover...
    Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
    adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

    Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
    Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.


    Chili # 6 Pam's Very Vegetarian Variety...
    Judge # 1 -- Thin, yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
    Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. I pooped on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair! No one seems inclined to stand behind me anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone.


    Chili # 7 Carla's Screaming Sensation Chili...
    Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- Ho-hum; tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress, as he is cursing uncontrollably.
    Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing; it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

    Chili # 8 Karen's Toenail Curling Chili...
    Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold,
    but spicy enough to declare its existence.
    Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild, nor hot.
    Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed
    out, fell over, and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?

    1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
    2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
    2 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained

    I generally am not too scientific about it. Fry some ground beef. Dump in a can of kidney beans, a can of black beans, and a can of stewed tomatoes or else an equal amount of fresh chopped tomatoes. Toss in a packet of whatever chili seasoning is cheap. Puree an onion, half a dozen cloves of garlic, and a handful of hot peppers of your choice and add them.

    Depending on the chili mix, I might add more salt, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or black pepper to taste. I also like to cut a few hot dogs up into the mix.

    Cook on low for about an hour.

    No two mixes are identical. Some are fantastic, all are good.

    make some simple chili, but instead of adding the diced tomatoes, onions, blah blah blah just add a jar of salsa or picante sauce. you get extra goodies floating around too.

    I'm still tweaking this one, probably add more masa flour. it's about the easiest one I know of.

    2 pounds hamburger, cooked and drained
    1/4 yellow onion, chopped (cook w/ hamburger)

    1 15oz can tomato sauce
    1 15oz jar hot salsa

    1 tbsp chili powder (to taste)
    sprinkle red pepper (to taste)
    1 tbsp salt

    *** ADD LATER ***
    1 15oz can kidney beans, drained
    1 15oz can of Chili beans, drained
    2 tbsp masa flour


    Dump it it all in a pot except the beans on medium-low heat.

    Cook for a couple hours. Add beans and flour. cook for another hour.

    people use masa flour to thicken it, but it does make a diffreence in flavor, that's why I use it. tastes good.
