What's in your chili?

    I made a batch last night. I use a kit (parts of a kit), as it has basically the same things I would use anyway, and I don't have to worry about forgetting an ingredient. Add three or four differnet kinds of beans, corn, onion, pepper, tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste, fresh garlic, beer and/or white wine. Nothing spectacular, but it gets the job done.

    One thing I do insist on is making my own tortilla chips. I take corn tortillas, slice it in eights and cook them in a deep fryer. Garnish with sea salt and some lime juice.

    Definitely not a dollar. I think regular price is 59 cents here.

    Chili should be made differently every time. No such thing as a perfect bowl of chili and no such thing as a bad bowl of chili.

    At least once a year, I like to bring in some of my Scouter's Famous Chili. The trick is to undercook the onions. Everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot. I'm serious about this stuff. I'm up the night before pressing garlic and dicing whole tomatoes. I toast my own Ancho chilies. It's a recipe passed down from Scouters for generations. It's probably the thing I do best.

    But the kit is perfectly legit? I really thought I'd take more heat over the kit than over beans. In reality, I'm not a bean person, except when I make chili.

    Does anyone have a good recipe for Cincinnati-style chili? I've only ever had it the three times I've been to Cincinnati and went to Skyline, but it's not so good that I'm driving 12 hours to get some, either.

    I like to mix it up once in a while with a white bean and chicken/turkey chili, tossing in a little cilantro.

    One of my relatives makes chili with sauce so thin, I'd swear it's just beans, meat and ketchup diluted with water.

    That's like saying 'stuff.'
    You've got to be more specific than that.

    I think that was Kleeda's intention.
