I'm told that real chili doesn't contain beans.
However, I pay no attention and put in kidney and black beans.
I like playing around with the different peppers - scotch bonnet, jalapeņo, habanero, etc.
I usually just brown the meat, then throw it in a pot with diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried marjoram, garlic (or garlic powder), salt, lots of pepper, chili powder, cut up celery, cut up peppers (both spicy and bell), and onion. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for an hour. Throw in the beans and let it simmer another 30-45mins.
