Oh my gosh - I LOVE chili... this is the only dish I make almost weekly during the winter....
I don't have an exact recipe, either... its more of what is in the pantry and dump in recipe...
brown 1lb hamburger
add chopped onions and celery, cook until soften
Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion (I also used this seasoning - but I doubt you have it near you
http://www.bowlofredchili.com/... when I'm out, I double these other seasonings - like a palm of each)
continue to brown ("opening" up the dried spices)
dump in cans of beans (I like a lot of beans so I used lite and dark kidney beans, black beans and sometimes chili beans)
dump in cans tomatoes (usually diced or crushed)
If need more "soupy"... add a can of tomato juice
sometimes I add a can of sweet corn.
For the Wisconsin version - you can cook up elbow macaroni and add it IN the chili... but we are gluten free, so we now don't add noodles.
ETA - this is "award" winning... Haha... it came in first the first year I entered... and then second, the next year Dave's work chili cook off... I only lost because the guy who beat me, competes in chili cooks offs outside or work. :/
