Three-Step Chili image

This recipe comes from my grandmother, who-although of Irish descent-was considered one of the best Mexican-food cooks in western Oklahoma when I was growing up. Want to know her serving secret? Before you fill a serving bowl with the chili, rub the inside with a cut clove of garlic.-Christine Perry, Denver, Colorado

This chili was a complete disaster. It was watery and tasteless.

I didn't like this chili at all. It was too bland and didn't have any flavor.

This chili was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less cayenne pepper next time.
