I love homemade chili. My husband has never liked chili and it's because he never had it homemade. After he had my homemade chili, he loves it.

I make it as i go and it's never exactly the same. If someone is interested i'll a recipe the next time around.

Basically, you saute some onions and garlic, add ground beef, brown it. Add freshly chopped tomatos, chili powder, cumin, paprika, pepper, a touch of salt and sugar. You can use canned if you want and stew/slow cook until tomatos are broken down. Add beans (i use kidney, pinto and northern usually but i vary it each time) and simmer until cooked. Black beans are an interesting choice too but my tried and true is the kidney, pinto and a white bean.

Serve with sour cream, raw chopped onions and cheese. Mmmmm mmmmm good. Or you want to do a good "white trash meal" serve it over frito's a.k.a. Frito Pie
