Best Chilli Recipe?

Getting to be that kind of year, and I can never find a good chilli recipe. My gf makes this awful sweet, green chilli that's basically vegetable soup.
Anyone got a thick, meaty, spicy red chili? Can be with beans or no beans. So much thanks to anyone who has an awesome one!

I can't help you if you want a true chili recipe from scratch. But if you want a quick fix that tastes good just buy the Mexene brand chili powder and use the recipe on the back. Add a little of whatever you want spice wise, onion, etc. It's not bad at all for what it is.
I wish CITWIT was still here to rip me to shreds over this

I love semi-homemade stuff. I've admitted at this point that I don't have the skill not the time to do some intense recipes so if I can get something tastes 85% as good for a quarter of the time I'm great!
Having said that, if someone does have a from scratch recipe I'm definitely down to try it on a long Saturday or Sunday!

No real recipe, just a method. All measurements are guesses.
3 lbs ground meat ( hamburger, venison, chuck or a mixture)
6 T Mexine chili powder
4 T Gebhardt chili powder, or other good brands( you can add the chili powders 20 minutes apart if you wish)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 or 3 jalapeño peppers, with seeds, minced
2 onions, very fine minced
1 Hatch chile, very fine minced
1/4 cup cilantro, vfm
2 t oregano
1T cumin
1 Hershey bar, no nuts. Most important frickin step.
1/2 cup masa or corn meal
3 cups, or more, beef stock
Salt to taste
Brown the damn meat, adding the onion in the process. Drain all but a few T of the fat. Add the peppers, spices, and seasonings. Then add the stock after a few minutes. Add the Hershey bar. Bring to a low boil, cut to a simmer and add more stock if it's too thick.
Simmer 30 minutes to an hour. Taste it. Adjust all seasonings. Make corn bread. Eat it.

That's me, I don't have the time nor the skill to make most dishes from scratch. But give that recipe a try. It's fast, easy, and great for a cool night during football season. Chop up some onion and have some grated sharp cheddar on hand and you're golden

That looks fantastic, and simple enough for me to give it a try. Thanks for sharing

Easy and tasty. Of course you can add beans and sometimes I do.

Thanks MD! That looks perfect and def agree with the thickness. When you add beans, what kind do you add, and when do you add them?

Add canned pinto or kidney at the end and cook maybe ten minutes.

It's hard to beat this chili mix. It's semi homemade as the ingredients all come separate in their own little pouches. I've made this at work with deer meat for a large crowd and everyone loved it. Top it with cheese and sour cream and it's even better.
