Chili recipes?

Been asked to make a pot this weekend. I'm not really a chili fan, so I don't have a go to recipe for it. If you're willing to share your favorite, I'd love to see it!

Sounds like a good one. Is the Riunite solid, or can I submit another red wine? I have everything else on the shelf.

I have to make a really simple one for my wife. i cook a roast (or round steak or ground beef) with garlic and salt and black pepper.
White onion cooked with the meat.
two cans kidney beans, one pintos.
V8
one canned tomatoes, cut or crushed, diced.
Chili powder, cumin, more garlic, more salt, put on the counter and CALL THE WIFE AND MAKE HER SEASON IT!

Serve with great big bowl full of shredded cheddar and big diced onions.

cooking for me, canned green chilis, a chopped dried poblano, bit of tabasco, ancho pepper cooked with the meat.

If your family doesn't care, that can be thrown together in about an hour.

The trick right now is finding reasonably priced beef. Chuck is going for $6/lb. I may buy a brisket and grind it up.

no beans please, you can if you insist, have them as a side

consider a course grind of chuck rather than ground beef

I have a trip tip and I found a brisket for $1.49/lb yesterday. Once I separate the point from the flat, I'll grind the rest for ground beef. I already have 2 briskets in the freezer, so I don't feel guilty. Brisket makes awesome burgers. Plus, I have the trimmings from the last brisket to make the burgers even more tasty.
