Chili, Plain and Simple but Darn Good image

This is plain and simple but makes a wonderful chili, you may add in other ingredients if desired, my family likes this topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream then served with recipe#105726 --- I strongly suggest to make this 1-3 days ahead the flavors will intensify and ripen, you will really notice a difference in flavor if made ahead --- all amounts may be adjusted to taste.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. It's not too spicy and the flavors are well-balanced.

This chili is a little too spicy for me, but my husband loves it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chipotle peppers next time.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze it for later.

This chili is so easy to make and it tastes amazing! I love that I can use ground turkey instead of beef, which makes it a healthier option.

This chili recipe is a keeper! It's simple to make and the results are delicious. I especially love the addition of the cocoa powder. It gives the chili a rich, complex flavor.
