Several years ago I decided to make chili and just got a bunch of stuff out of my cupboard. As luck would have it, it was the very best chili I have ever eaten. And I measured.. .NOTHING! I had to sit down that evening and try to figure out what I had done, but it was all by taste . Read more . Good luck! Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef |
1 or 2 cans of beer |
2 tbsp cocoa powder (i used hershey's) |
cajun rub (any cajun mix will do) |
worchestershire |
seasoning salt (lawrey's) |
dill weed |
chipotle tabasaco |
garlic (however much you want - i use at least six cloves) |
paprika |
chile powder |
1 large onion, diced |
2 cans kidney beans |
1 can black beans |
1 can pinto beans (or other white bean - white northern works, too) |
2 big cans tomato sauce |
2 cans diced tomatoes with garlic |
Directions:
1. Brown onion and garlic, then add beef
2. Add can of beer to beef, cans of beans, cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Season to taste with the rest of the ingredients.
3. Simmer for 2+ hours, adding beer as necessary to cook down .
4. I originally had a 16oz can of beer and put about 3/4 of the can in. I added the rest of the can to let the chili cook down.

6. Mel's notes: I have made this many MANY times since Feb. 2004. I always do everything to taste , except for what I have noted. It's still the best chili I've ever made.
