CLASSIC CHILI
Mom's homemade chili recipe was the best! She knew just the right ingredients to put her 'stamp' on it. I could eat it with my eyes closed and know it was hers. It amazed me that she could put it together in so little time. -Marjorie Carey, Alamosa, Colorado

NOT THICK, BUT NOT TOO THIN, GOOD OLD ORIGINAL CHILI
I've been cooking this chili recipe for about a year, and every time, it came out great. I work in a restaurant and I tried the chili one day. So I asked my boss if I could have the recipe, and this came out just as good (or even better) than any restaurant's. It makes quite a lot (12 quarts) but can easily be reduced by the ingredients to your liking (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 quarts)

- Cook the beef until it is at a medium--medium-well.
- Drain all of the fat out of the meat pan.
- In the desired soup pot, cook the chopped peppers, onions, and celery.
- Add the meat to the vegetables.
- Add the chili powder and cumin to the meat and vegetables.
- Cook until all of the ingredients have been covered with the chili powder and cumin, or until they take on a red color.
- Add the previously squashed tomatoes to the soup pot.
- Mix well, then add the beans and all of their juice.
- Finally, add the tomato juice.
- Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 2 hours (this could be less time, if desired, but keep in mind the longer the simmer, the better the taste).
- Serve, but be careful because it's extremely hot!

THE BEST CHILI
There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
