Then I toss it in a colander strainer, rinse. Then place in a pot or large pan and add olive oil, onions, peppers, salt & pepper. Brown the hamburger then add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, pinto beans, ketchup, 3-4 cups of water to cover and the dry seasonings to taste. Cook down on Medium for about an hour or two depending on how thick or thin you want it. Serves for bowls of chili (my kids always add cheese on top). Or thick if using for dip for the fun gathering.

I also pour a bottle of Guiness into the mixture for thickening. Aside from those additions, it's a traditional chili recipe. It always comes out really great.

Cook the vegies until they start to get soft. Add the beef, cooking until it starts to brown and is cooked through. To reduce fat content, drain and rinse this in hot water, careful not to lose anything. Add the tomatoes and beans (with liquid), stirring to combine. Toss in the seasoning the packets, and bring to low boil, stirring often. Add a 1/2 cup of water if needed. Simmer for 20-30 minutes and you are ready to go. A great quick, supper with tortilla chips and shredded sharp cheddar and diced onions on top. A quick and easy chili that is tasty as well.

I've learned that the best chili has to use cubed meat (be it beef, pork, chicken, or whatever) combined with a long stewing time to allow the meat to break down and absorb all the flavors of the other ingredients. I was surprised to see that none of the recipes on your page included cumin as an ingredient, which gives taditional Texas-style chili it's distinctive flavor. Good recipes, though. i love a good bowl of chili.
