DESCRIPTION:

Chili is a spicy stew of chili peppers, meat, tomatoes, and often beans that originated in San Antonio, Texas, during the 1880s. Beans were added to chili in the 20th century, and the original recipes were hot mole, beef, and a variety of hot chilies.

It's become an American (and now international) phenomenon to create the "best chili." As long as the stew includes the base ingredients, you're good to go.

A personal note from Laura:
My recipe (pictured in the masthead) includes four types of chilies: roasted green, red flake, lion chilies, and two habanero chilies; four types of meat (Portuguese sausage, bacon, ground turkey, and sliced tri-tip), two types of beans (black and kidney), mushrooms, black olives, garlic, lemon, cinnamon, cilantro, bay leaves, liquid smoke, green onions, V-8 juice (base), dried tomatoes and tomato paste. I simmer it for 12 hours in the crockpot. It is amazing! Top it with extra sharp cheese, sesame seeds, and/or sour cream. It makes about 25 servings.

Chili is an equal-opportunity dish. You make it what you will, and it freezes beautifully. There is no right or wrong way to make chili—as long as it includes chilies, you've got the stew called chili.

Enjoy National Chili Day.
