THE BEST CHILI
There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

GRANDMA'S CHILI
This is a hand-me-down from my Grandma. I like it because it doesn't have kidney beans and it has a bit of a sweet taste. It's a brown chili not a red one - no tomatoes.

GRANDPA'S NO-NONSENSE CHILI
This is my variation on the delicious chili my grandfather used to make. It was the only thing he could cook (besides hot dogs), but he certainly did it right. Make sure you have a large pot to cook it in, 'cause it makes enough to have some now and freeze some for later.
