Three-Step Chili image

This recipe comes from my grandmother, who-although of Irish descent-was considered one of the best Mexican-food cooks in western Oklahoma when I was growing up. Want to know her serving secret? Before you fill a serving bowl with the chili, rub the inside with a cut clove of garlic.-Christine Perry, Denver, Colorado

This chili is delicious! The beef is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and satisfying. I especially love the hint of smokiness from the chipotle peppers.

This is my go-to chili recipe. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and a dollop of guacamole.

I've made this chili several times now, and it always turns out delicious. The key is to use good quality ingredients and to let it simmer for a while so the flavors can really meld together.
