Fist Chili of the season....

The time has come to start getting off the grill and coming inside (Meaning the weather sucks today).  Gonna throw a big pot of our slightly hot chili together.
 
Thought you guys might be interested...
 
I'll throw up some pictures later if I can figure out how.

Glad You enjoyed it. Of course that's just a starting point, you can mess around with different meat, peppers, spices, etc. I usually let it simmer on low for about 4-5 hrs, but you could probably eat it in as little as 1-2.

Looks like love in a pot. I've added chocolate or dark roasted coffee not to much but wow can really give a unique flavor. My wife says she'll make the cornbread. Mmmmmmm making us hungry whitewookie. :)
 
Looks fantastic. I know it must have turned out fiery, filling and flavorful! I have a batch of my own chili going right now in my slow cooker. I didn't have all of the ingredients I wanted, so a bit of experimentation was involved. I took a look at my pantry and started throwing stuff in so we'll see soon enough. As I didn't bother to measure, the ingredients used are as follows: cayenne pepper powder, onion & mushroom soup mix (dry), chili powder (commercial), about a pound and a half of 85/15 ground beef (browned off), vegetable stock (probably about a cup), my own blend of pepper powder (reaper, moruga scorpion, white habanero, chocolate habanero, scotch bonnet), garlic powder, black pepper, and one can of no salt added diced tomatoes.
 
I can't wait to taste it.
