Cattle Drive chilli at costco. Meaty, spicy, but not too spicy, and all it takes to prepare is a can openner.

Ping to you showoff Texans.

ground beef ground for chili
ground sausage
canned tomatoes (no sugar)
red kidney or black beans (no sugar)
one big onion, diced
one big green bell pepper, diced
cumin, garlic, salt and pepper
and loads of chili powder! I mean heaping spoonfuls.
if you want to experiment with the beer, go for it.
If you want a little extra spice, throw in some red pepper or habanero
brown beef and sausage, drain, add ingredients, cook slowly day before cookoff until chili has thickened. Put in fridge over night.
Best the next day.
Yum

I think some of Squantos' stuff already has been banned by the EPA. ;-)

My chili doesn't have a recipe. Each pot is an original.
But it is the best in the world.
Period.

First ya gotta start out with a New Mesican not a real Mesican, but a New Mesican.
The chili will be really good if he is a smart mouth that is foolish enough to mess with Texas.
First step is to tenderize him with your Monster-Mudder truck tires.
Oops!
The owners just came in and I must appear to be working!

I dunno, Flyer. I'll have to disagree with you about yours being the best. If you think that, then you haven't tasted the best yet. :)

Good ground beef -- chuck, round or sirloin, cooked and well-drained
kidney beans -- I like dark red ones
tomatoes -- usually use the canned ones, sometime with spices, but it depends on what's on hand
I make a chili powder made from ground chiles, oregano, garlic powder, cumin and a bit of paprika -- sometimes a little high-quality cocoa powder, depending on my mood. I don't really measure it.
Freshly chopped onion would be nice, but my kids won't eat it if they see it, so I have to hide it
salt and pepper to taste
Cook over low heat until tomatoes have reduced and you have a thick, meaty chili.

Remember, pinto beans, NOT kidney beans!
Masa flour, and real peppers, NOT "chili powder".
Real meat cut in chunks (beef, Venison etc_, NOT ground whatever.
Don't be in a hurry.
Serve with pico de gallo and Texas toasted cheese sandwiches.
Hmmmmmm, cold and rainy here in Atlanta, maybe some chili
WOULD be good....

You know where the Compound is. Sneak in with a pot of chili and I assure the patrols will let you past.
