GRANDMA'S CHILI
The "new" Recipezaar has cut off about half of my directions after step 3 during the switch. sad. sorry to any new readers. Maybe I'll have time to come back and make corrections someday, though I rarely frequent this site now because of how much more difficult it is to navigate. this is a passed down, tried and true chili recipe. i always get a ton of compliments on it. serving ideas: cheese, fritos, cornbread, saltine crackers (we love them all -- depending on our mood!)... note -- this is one of those recipes that comes from my brain and test tastes. :) so a couple of notes: -- i have found that Lawry's chili seasoning gives the best overall taste. and plus, that's just the way grandma made it! -- i use any where from one to two pounds of meat and adjust the ingredients accordingly. -- i often use nearly 1 and 1/2 packets of chili seasoning, especially if the meat portion is on the heavy side. -- i often use some of the stewed tomato juice and chili bean juice to help add flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chili will be. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Use good quality ground beef or turkey, and flavorful spices.
- Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds a lot of flavor to the chili. Be sure to brown it in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the meat is no longer pink.
- Use a variety of beans: Different beans add different flavors and textures to chili. Try using a combination of kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and/or Great Northern beans.
- Add plenty of spices: Chili is all about the spices. Be sure to use a generous amount of chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer the chili simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
Conclusion:
