[quote=Anonymous]Brown meat (or not, I do veggie), an onion, several garlic cloves, a bell pepper (I like 1 green, part of a red, and a little jalapeño maybe 1/4). Use olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. A lot of it.

Deglaze with beer. Half a can.

Add a large can of tomato sauce, a large can of diced or whole tomatoes, two cans of beans (I like kidney and black, but you can do whatever. Also add an entire packet of chili seasoning (I like McCormick), and about 1 tbsp EACH of garlic, cumin, more chili powder and 1 tsp EACH of oregano (mexican if you have it), and chipotle in adobo seasoning (less if you like it mild...you can also use a can of chipotles in adobo and I'd use about 1/4 cup and freeze the rest). I also add about 1/8 cup of sugar and lots of salt.

Add tons of fresh cilatro when adding the wet ingredients, and a cup or so of frozen corn towards the end. This also makes it sweeter.

If you like a different consistency you can add more or less tomato liquids or add broth.

I find at the end if you've spiced properly it's the salt and sugar balance that matters.
