(Because I never make it the same way twice)
I browned a pound of chorizo with a half pound of ground beef, along with a small chopped onion and a large blop of minced garlic, with a few shakes of W-sauce and maybe a Tbsp of Lawry's.
Once that was done, I added a blop of beef Better Than Buillon and a bottle of Blue Moon pumpkin ale. Stirred it all together and let it simmer for a half hour.
Then I added maybe 2 Tbsp of chipotle chili powder and a few shakes of smoked paprika, 2 tsp of cumin and a pinch of brown sugar. Mixed that together and added a can of tomato sauce (15 oz), half jar of salsa that was in the fridge, and a pint jar of my homemade pepper relish (that had habaneros, hot cherries, tomatoes, and vinegar).
Next I added two cans of black beans and let it simmer for about an hour.
My stars!
That's what I like about chili - you can just start tossing stuff in and it's always fabulous. But the best chili I ever had was the pot that Kyle (forum Kyle) made and brought over one night. OMG!
