Being in Texas, chili is a staple on the few cold days we have each year. This is something I've come up with after years of trying to perfect an easy to make and delicious chili. This is a very spicy chili and the perfect meal for a chilly day. The beans are optional here as they traditionally aren't found in Texas chili.

Moderately easy
This was the best chili I ever had. I made a few minor tweaks (see Tweaks). I've made it several times. It has the perfect blend of flavors. We all love it,
including my teenage son who never eats chili. I entered the church chili cookoff and one first prize! (I cooked it in a slow cooker after I browned the meat/added peppers&onions)

Used different ingredients.
My tweak won me first prize in the church chili cookoff. I substituted the beer for 1.5T of light brown sugar, added 2T Gravy Master, extra clove or two of garlic. It was the best chili I've ever had, my family craves it now. Judges said it had the perfect balance of flavors and we all agree.

Easy
First off, I confess that I'm not a big chili eater or maker, and this is the first time I've made chili in years. I made the recipe exactly as written, with no beans. It is very good as it is. The heat level was just on the edge of tolerable for me, but I'm a big pussy when it comes to hot peppers. I'm going to try it out on some friends that like hotter stuff than me...I suspect they may want even more heat.
For the beer, I used Beck's Dark...I didnt have many choices and I dont drink beer anymore. My only complaint would be that it is a bit acidic and might benefit from some sugar or honey or something like that. Overall it was very good and I'll make it again, especially for friends.

Easy
My husband would add hot sauce to peanut butter and jelly. After making this recipe, he tasted it and said, "wow, this is good, just enough bite and it has excellent flavor", and he did not need to add any hot sauce! What? yes, he loved it! no tweaking required. VERY GOOD! Thank you!!
