What is your personal chili recipe? Do you go ultra traditional, do you have your own crazy variations?

I go with the following (pic is unrelated, just random)

>fry half a sweet onion with sunflower oil
>add 2 cloves garlic when light brown
>add 300g ground beef when onions are dark brown, add some extra virgin olive oil
>fry up and drain all liquid
>add 70g tomato puree, 300g tomato sauce, 1tbsp ground cumin, 1tbsp freshly ground chili, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, some salt
>stir and fry for about a minute while preparing beef broth
>add beef broth and simmer, adding more broth every 10 minutes for an hour
>add masa harina to the remaining broth until it's a wet paste and add
>add 350g kidney beans
>simmer 10 mins and serve

I love it with some grated cheddar personally. Fresh guacamole on the side is nice occasionally, but usually when I have guests. God this food is so fucking nice.

I only use it to deglaze after I heavily browned the ground beef, and sometimes I will throw in a handful of flour or corn starch at that point with a bit of butter or lard to make a gravy which gets mixed in to the chili later. sometimes I gotta dump it all in a blender because I fuck up and it becomes clumpy shit, but that's fine too. good chance to throw in some spices and peppers into the blender.

-Roast red pepper and tomatoes
-fry onion and garlic in Dutch oven on medium heat, turn to low when onions are translucent
-sear salted diced chuck steak on a very hot pan, about 20 seconds a side, turning once. Do not cook the steak all the way through or overcrowd the pan. Transfer steak to Dutch oven
-add tomato paste, grated carrot, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, and seasoning (paprika, cumin, ground coriander seed, oregano, ground chipotle, chili powder, black pepper, mustard powder) and stir
-deglaze steak pan with dark ale or red wine roast beef stock, scrape the bits and add liquid to pot
-dice roasted tomatoes and peppers, add to pot
-add canned diced tomatoes
-add soaked and drained beans or lentils if desired
-simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the steak is tender enough to break apart with the wooden spoon pushed against the edge of the pot. The chili is not done until the steak is tender enough to fall apart. Approx. 3 hours. Add salt to taste of needed.
-stir in a couple squares of dark chocolate before serving over steamed rice
Uncover during the later stages of the simmer to thicken if needed. It takes all afternoon and has a lot of ingredients but I have not tasted a better chili.

Chilli is the ultimate snowflake food.

Everyone has some ingredient that makes theirs so much better and not like ordinary chili

heat is usually achieved by just a few extremely hot peppers that impart their own unique flavor. Good smoked paprika has a lot of flavor but if you're buying the cheap $1 shakers of it at Walmart then you're right it is flavorless.
