I have lived a lot of places and chilie is differnet from place to place. Sort of like BBQ. There are significant differences from place to place....North Carolina vs St. Louis, etc.
My preference for chilie is actually Texan myself. I lived there for a couple of years and became educated in Texas food. I had some really good chilie there including some rattlesnake chilie that had quite a bite to it.
Fangs a lot.

Question: Does "JG-head stew" contain any ingredients?
No: It is an empty pot
Yes: But you can't find a cooking vessel large enough to hold it all

nuisance said:I don't think beans are a necessary component of chili, so I voted no beans. Having said that, I do always chuck a bunch of (cooked) beans in my chili. Mainly to keep the cost down, but also because I like some starch in each meal.
More importantly, has anybody else experimented much with making your own chili powder? I've tried several times now, using some ancho and pasilla chiles with a single habanero. After blending it to dust it always smells heavenly, but that great smell never really translates into the actual stew. What am I doing wrong?

Beef -preferably chuck, onions, garlic, chiles, oregano, cumin, and possibly a dash of coriander and a bay leaf. Anything else is an adulterant.
People put pinapple on pizza, but that doesn't mean that pinapple is an ingrediant of pizza. It just means someone doesn't know how to make the dish.
Same with chili.
