This is a basic chili. Amounts listed are only guidelines. Add more meat if desired or even no meat at all if that is your preference. Add more beans or even different beans. Use dried beans rather than canned if you have the time. Adjust the spices according to your taste. This stuff is just plain yummy comfort food .. it is really good the next day and it does freeze very well. So if you are looking for a good basic start to creating your own chili recipe .. this just might be it !
