THE BEST CHILI
There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
WICK FOWLER'S CHILI - RICK'S VERSION
Basically I just measured the ingredients in the package and substituted fresh onion and garlic. I usually mix up several of these and store them in ziplock bags to use later.

RICH BROOKS' DAMN GOOD CHILI
This is my dad's "famous" chili. It is so meaty and yummy. It does not have any beans in it - like traditional Texas chili. The recipe can be cut in half for smaller families - or make the whole batch and freeze the unused portion or use leftovers for chili-cheese dip. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Steps:

- Heat the vegetable oil on med-high heat and saute the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and garlic until they are soft and onions are translucent.

Tips:
- Choose the right chili peppers: Different chili peppers have different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild chili, use poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a medium chili, use jalapeƱo or serrano peppers. For a hot chili, use habanero or cayenne peppers.
- Roast the chili peppers: Roasting the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to digest. You can roast them in the oven, on the stovetop, or on a grill.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your chili the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and peppers.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the chili. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken.
- Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavors will meld together. Simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
- Season the chili to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, oregano, or paprika.
Conclusion:
