Grandma's Chili image

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.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and delicious. I love serving it with a side of cornbread.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some corn and black beans to mine.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This chili is really easy to make, but it takes a while to cook. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

This chili is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I added some extra vegetables to this recipe, like carrots and celery. It made it even more hearty and nutritious.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.
