I occasionally do the 5 Alarm chili in a box, but mostly I make my own.

I prefer to make my own chili powder, but Spice House's chili powder is good. I keep some of it in the freezer if I haven't made my own.

I'll look for it next time.

^ Knows what's good. I chop my celery very finely using a small food processor so by the time the chili cooks down and is reheated the next day you don't even hardly see it, let alone feel it's texture.

Celery is one of the trinity vegetables for a reason.

it's in like a paper bag thing

And I was totally wrong.

It's

Ol hired hand six gun chili mixings

It's the best

Thats good stuff but sadly my kids won't eat it if I put the cayenne pepper pack in it.

So now I just use good old Williams chilli powder.

Yep. That's it. It's great

Chili sucks!

Made chili with ground bison\lean ground beef tonight, nothing too involved, canned organic kidney beans ;(, lot's of onion, garlic, bell pepper, celery, fresh tomatoes, my own spice blend. It came out pretty good for canned bean chili and not cooking all that long. My wife and kids got their bellies full before we all watched Rudolph together. Don't often feel that content. Homemade chili makes a man feel good about himself in a way other foods can't.

Is it the cumin?

It's funny how once i learned the trinity (and emeril's bayou blast) that it's the basis for probably 90% of the dishes I make.
