Go to the store. Get a box of Carrol Shelby Chili Mix. Buy the ingredients listed on the back. Follow the directions to cook. Eat. Shelby made the worlds best mustangs and made a mean chili, too. You'll not go wrong with it.
I'll second the Shelby Chili Kit, I don't typically use the flour, but occasionally I throw it in, just mix it up a little. I typically add more Cayenne Pepper than is included in the kit.
I typically use:
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
1 big whole onion diced
1 whole habanero diced
Salt, pepper, and Marion Kay Dominant One seasoning, cook the sirloin to your liking.
After the sirloin is done, add:
2 cans some kind of Hunts diced tomatoes, I typically use fire roasted with garlic
2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, I prefer hot
2 cans Brooks hot chili beans
2 cans Hunts tomato sauce
Simmer for about 15 minutes stirring a LOT! The chili will scotch on the bottom of the pan if you don't stir often.
This chili has a little wang to it, if you want to tone it done, go easy on the Cayenne, and instead of Habaneros, us Jalapenos or Sorrento Peppers, or just skip it altogether.
