MOM'S PERFECT CHILI
Smoky tomato flavors lead the way in this comforting classic. This is the perfect chili recipe in my opinion--it's not so fancy that it's intimidating at all, but it's definitely a step above chili packet recipes and chili beans. Serve topped with desired garnishes, such as jalapeno, green or white white onion, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce.

Add crushed and fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce; stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.

MOM'S EASY CHILI
I used Mom's chili recipe and added a few things of my own over the years. I put it together in the crock pot the night before, throw it in the fridge (just the crock), then before leaving for work the next morning I put the crock in the base, plug it in and it's yummy when I get home.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef and drain.
- Put all ingredients in crock pot and stir well.
- Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 4 to 6 hours. I also like to take the lid off the crock pot the last hour or two (when I'm home) to allow some of the water to burn off.
MOM'S EASY CHILI
This chili goes together fairly quickly--it only simmers for about 45 minutes to an hour, instead of for several hours like some chili recipes. It makes a good weeknight dinner; I love it best with cornbread, although biscuits are nice, too. Usually by the time the cornbread or biscuits are done, so is the chili.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork or lamb.
- Add some chopped vegetables, such as onions, peppers, and carrots, to the chili for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use a variety of beans in your chili, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. This will give the chili a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add some spices to the chili, such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano. This will give the chili a more robust flavor.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
