How to Make Chili

This recipe for chili is one of the closest ones to ‘original’ chili we have on this site.
It consists mainly of meat – has very little beans – and has quite a bit of sauce. I know beans in chili is considered a big no-no in some places but they really do add a lot to this wonderful, comforting meal!

This recipe for chili is spicy enough to leave a bite but not too much so as to make you sweat! Serve it with shredded Cheddar cheese, corn bread and sour cream on the side if you wish.
