I don't use a recipe, I just do it to the eye: ground turkey (or ground beef), onions, garlic, chili powder, salt, a little pepper,beans of your choice, and tomato sauce. Mix all up and there you go! Don't forget to top it with shredded cheddar cheese! I like to eat baked tostado chips w/ my turkey chili - yum!

I use round steak, a couple to three pounds, cut into cubes, browned. Add a chopped onion, two cans of choped green chilis, a can of crushed tomatoes, 4 or 5 crushed garlic cloves, two or three teaspoons of chili powder, salt and peper to taste, cook on low, covered, for a couple of hours until meat is fork tender. You can serve this with pinto beans, or alone with corn bread (add jalepenios and cheese for an added twist to the corn bread- not corn muffins, do not add the sugar.)

I have a great recipe. Well actually I've heard it called sweet chili or sweet tortilla soup but it's so good.
1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp cumin
1 can corn
1 can white beans
1 can red beans
1 can tomato sauce (about 15 oz)
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 cup brown sugar

In a pain cook beef with cumin, drain. Add everything in a crock pot and cook for 2 to 3 hours on high. Once done eat with toppings like cheese, tortilla chips, diced avocado, sour cream etc. Corn bread also goes well with this. Enjoy!

answers from Wichita on

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped (I just use onion powder)
10 3/4 oz can tomato soup
16 oz kidney beans, drained
1 qt tomato juice
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 T chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Everyone in my family has "stolen" this recipe from me... it's so good. I mix the tomato juice and soup in the crockpot first, then add all the spices. Then brown the beef in a pan with the onion. Drain off the excess grease and add to the crockpot. We leave the beans out because my hubby hates them, and it's still really good without them. Leave the crockpot on low if you want it to cook awhile or if the crockpot is on high it will be ready within 2 hours.

My family is not a fan of the chili beans so I make mine like this:
1 lb ground beef browned
1/2 c onion
1 can of pork & beans
1 small can of tomato sauce
1 small can of water
3 tbsp of Williams Chili Seasoning

Cook the hamburger & onion...drain. Add p&b, tomato sauce, water & seasoning. The longer it cooks , the better it is

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 small)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, undrained
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
1. In a 3-quart saucepan cook and stir ground beef, sweet pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and the garlic over medium heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat.

2. Stir in tomato sauce, undrained beans, undrained tomatoes, chili powder, salt, basil, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.

This is my basic Chili recipe (from my BHG cookbook). I alter it to get it the way I like it and make it easier. Here's what I do - I use one bag of frozen, chopped onion and one bag of frozen, chopped green pepper and I put them in with the ground beef when I am browning it. I don't like my chili greasy so I only use lean ground beef or ground sirloin. I use 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of minced garlic out of the jar and put it in with the beef, onions and green pepper after they have been cooking for a few minutes. I like lots of beans in the chili so I use one can of dark red kidney beans, one can of light red kidney beans and one can of white cannellini beans. With the extra beans I need more diced tomatoes so I use a total of 3 cans of diced tomatoes. I like my chili to be a little spicier so I add extra chili powder (to taste) and I also add some cumin (also to taste). The chili powder already has salt in it so I don't add salt at all. I don't care for too much dried basil so I only use about 1/4 tsp. You can also just brown the ground beef, onion, green pepper and garlic and then dump it and everything else into a crock pot, stir it up and let it cook all day if you want to.

The best is Williams Chili mix sold in stores. I just add ground turkey, diced tomatoes, and red kidney beans. It's ready in 20...but the more it simmers, the deeper the flavor gets.

Freezes great too!

I despise watery, greasy chili. This recipe is so good and so easy. It makes a thick, hearty, spicy, flavorful instant chilli. They have already simmered the spices for you, so the chili is instant. No need to simmer all day.

I Buy chili meat - not ground beef - brown and drain well
Rotelle "Chili Fixins" It's in a can next to the Rotelle Tomoates most people use to make queso with. It's full of chilli powder, garlic, etc. All the stuff you would use to make chili.
Canned tomatoe sauce.
Combine and heat through for 10 minutes.

My recipe is similar to those listed, I just wanted to add that instead of tomato juice (for more hidden veggies...hehehe) I use V8 juice and then one small can of tomato paste to thicken.
