How to Make Chili

[elleng]

(for those who want someone ELSE's thoughts!)

'Every practiced American cook’s recipe for chili is definitive and the best. A classic chili, the Texas bowl of red, is simply beef and hot peppers, simmered to perfection. But there’s no one recipe for the dish and no incorrect one – at least if we’re being honest with ourselves. You can make chili with beans; lamb or bison; venison, turkey or pork; with tomatoes or beer, with fresh chiles or dried, with chili powder or without. You should make chili as you like: delicious. We’ll help.'

3. I have started adding a couple tablespoons of canned Mole

to my chilli. It serves as a thickener and adds a bit of heat, depending on the brand.
