Add one large can of crused tomatoes or tomatoe puree per pound of meat, a can of tomato paste, a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce,
a pack of chili seasoning (or use chili powder and your own cayenne), crushed red pepper, cumin, seasoning salt, thyme (fresh is best, but dried is fine), and a tablespoon or so of brown sugar.
Once the mixture has been cooking about 20 minutes or so, add half a bottle of beer and your beans.

Sounds like a good recipe. Mine is similar, but I add a small piece of good dark chocolate to the simmering chili. I also like a bit of acid, so I add a tablespoon or so of cider vinegar at the end. Chili is a fun dish to modify and fool around with the recipe until you find what you like best. I also think the fire-roasted tomatoes ( Muir Glen) add to the flavor/

Anyone have a chili recipe that uses dried beans, not canned?

This is our favorite for the past couple of years. It includes some beer, which adds some complexity to the flavor. It's really fantastic and easy: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/chili-crowd-00000000007495/index.html
I usually make it with only 1.5 lbs of ground beef or ground turkey (I've also made it with meat substitute crumbles), and add a can of black beans in addition to the 2 cans of kidney beans. I only include one bottle of beer instead of two.

I didn't make the biscuits - they are not my forte - but this chili was awesome. And I'm not usually a fan of beef chili.

This may not go over too well with a toddler, but it's our favorite chili. I usually halve the recipe and have about 6 good-sized servings. And note that it's just two chipotle chiles - NOT two cans! My husband made that mistake once and it was practically inedible.

This all goes in a slow cooker:
2 cans of pinto beans
2 cans of black beans
2 cans of tomato sauce
2 cans of diced tomatoes (we used fire roasted)
We don't like chunks of onion, or you can dice up one of those and add it in (I used onion flakes instead).
Throw in some spices: all spice, chili powder (add a little at a time to control the spice), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook on low for 8 hours, it makes a ton and is just fantastic! We are vegan, so we occasionally throw in a bag of ground meat substitute, if you wanted to add in some meat I'd add another can of tomato sauce.

I made this one last week and both my husband and I thought it was really good. Very easy, too. My kids thought it was a little too spicy, but you could adjust that.

Kim O'Donnell's turkey chili - the cocoa powder really adds an interesting note:

Rachel Ray's three bean veggie chili is great, my 2 year old loves it.. and it's super easy. When I'm making it for her, I leave out the jalapeno and the hot sauce.. and it tastes just fine without it. This is one of her 30 minute meals.. but I find it tastes a lot better if you let it simmer on the stove for an hour or so.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper (seeded, de-veined and chopped)
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beer
2 16 oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 14 oz. can black beans
1 16 oz. can dark red kidney beans
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 can vegetarian refried beans
In a large pot, add olive oil and warm over medium heat. Add onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until softened. Add beer and stir well. Add tomatoes, black beans and kidney beans, stirring well to combine. Add cumin, chili powder, hot sauce and salt. Stir in refried beans to thicken chili. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Get some meat specially ground for chili (they have it at Whole Foods as well as Giant). Also some regular ground turkey.
Chop in food processor: one red and one green pepper, one large onion and two stalks celery per pound of meat (I add a carrot too, for the extra veg) (my kids don't like big chunks);
Saute the peppers, onion, and celery (and carrot) in a large saucepan with a tablespoon or so of olive oil until tender. Add crused garlic (I use a lot of garlic, about 6 cloves per pound of meat, but that's just me); cook another couple of minutes, careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the meat to the saucepan and brown.
Add one large can of crused tomatoes or tomatoe puree per pound of meat, a can of tomato paste, a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce,
a pack of chili seasoning (or use chili powder and your own cayenne), crushed red pepper, cumin, seasoning salt, thyme (fresh is best, but dried is fine), and a tablespoon or so of brown sugar.
Once the mixture has been cooking about 20 minutes or so, add half a bottle of beer and your beans. I like a lot of beans and use a mixutre of: light and dark red kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, and whatever else strikes your fancy. I rinse the beans (canned) because they're packed in high sodium liquid.
Adjust seasoning to taste (eg, more sugar, more salt, more pepper)

My toddler keeps asking for chili for dinner (loves the beans) but I have not yet found a great recipe. If you have a great recipe (not too spicy) would my mind sharing it with me?
TIA.
