If you are serving a full meal to your friends, you might make two or three kinds of chili. white chili, no-bean chili, and a beef chili.

You can serve with rice, tortilla chips, corn bread, etc.

Here are some tried-and-true recipes previously posted on TKL.

This is a thick, aromatic chili that my guests always
rave about.....(You might want to add a package of stew meat as it will get tender in the 2 hours it cooks.)

Gina's Chili
serves 8

2 lbs. ground sirloin, browned in chunks
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2 bell peppers, green and red, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 (28 oz.) can peeled tomatoes
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (more if you want heat)
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. paprika
2 (15 oz.) cans kidney beans, 1 light and 1 dark with
juices

garnishes: grated cheddar cheese

Brown beef, discard any fat. Set aside. In a skillet with
olive oil, saute all veggies, add to beef in a pot with all
other ingredients and cook on low for two hours.

I serve this with a garnish of grated cheddar cheese
and corn bread squares slathered with butter! Yum!!

Recipe(tried): Wonderful Chili, no beans

I got this recipe from Fine Cooking. It came from the
chef of Cafe Annie in Houston. It really has wonderfully
complex flavors. Best chili I have ever tasted. We love
beans, so generally cook a pot of pinto beans and add
them to individual servings. I think the chicken broth
makes it too rich, so I use water. I think ancho chile
powder could be substituted for the pasilla. Be sure to
use a really nice lean piece of chuck trimmed of
excess fat so the chili isn't greasy. Leftover chili
makes a great enchilada sauce for cheese and onion
enchiladas.

TEX-MEX CHILI

1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp dried oregano
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 lb beef chuck, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
5 fresh jalapenos (preferably red), stemmed, seeded
and chopped
3 tbsp masa harina
2 tbsp ground pasilla chile powder
2 lbs tomatoes (fresh or canned), seeded and chopped
1 dried chipotle
1 dried new mexico chile
1 bottle (12 oz.) dark beer, such as Negra Modelo (I
use Beck's)
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
4 cups water or homemade or low-salt canned chicken
broth

Toast the cumin and coriander in a small skillet over
low heat and grind in a spice grinder.

In a large, heavy-based skillet, Dutch oven or stockpot,
heat the oil until very hot. Brown the meat in the oil in
batches (add more oil as needed), being careful not to
crowd the pan or the meat will stew in its own juices
and not brown. Transfer the browned meat from the pan
to a plate lined with paper towels. Don't clean the
skillet after browning the meat.

To the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, jalapenos,
masa harina, pasilla powder, the toasted ground cumin
and coriander and dried oregano. Stir over medium-high
heat until the onion begins to soften, 5 to 8 minutes.
Return the meat to the skillet; add the tomatoes, whole
dried chiles, beer, chocolate and water or stock.
Simmer until the meat is fork-tender, about 1 and 1/2
hours. Remove the whole chiles before serving.
