Everyone makes it differently, but here is how I make mine....I don't know how big of a pot you want so just add everything to fill your pot)
Brown ground beef. Drain. Add onion and celery. Cook on low 10 minutes.
Add a few tbsp. flour, stir well. Add a can of beef broth and stir again. Add chili seasoning (I just use a McCormick dry chili seasoning mix) and a tsp. of cayenne pepper(more if you want it spicier)You can also add jalepeno peppers if you like.
Add tomato sauce, a large can of diced tomatoes, kidney beans and one can of chili beans. Stir well and simmer for 45 minutes.

Here's how to make real cowboy chili. Start with the following ingredients:
2 lbs coarsely ground beef (not lean!) 2 ounces of animal fat (bacon grease or beef suet--the pork fat's a little better) 2 cloves minced garlic 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 tablespoons chili powder (McCormick's is authentic enough, although you can mix your own with cumin, ground red pepper, oregano, cumin, black pepper and salt if you're aggressive enough)
Yes, that is the entire ingredient list!
First, render your pork or beef fat--basically, fry it over a low heat until it melts. An iron skillet is best if you want to be really authentic. Remove the rinds from the fat, if any. Then add in your ground beef--again, course ground is better. Brown the beef over medium heat, just so it's nice and even--do not overcook! The meat should be nice and tender is all. As it browns, go ahead and throw in the chopped garlic and onions.
Do not, repeat, DO NOT drain ANY of the fat off.
Once the beef's brown all around, slowly start sprinkling in the chili powder, stirring smoothly and steadily as you sprinkle it in. Once it's all in, slowly reduce the heat, and let it simmer at a very low, mildly bubbling heat for at least two hours. Check and stir occasionally.
Add a moderate--I said moderate!--amount of salt to taste. You shouldn't need much though!
You'll notice the consistency changes rather dramatically over time. It will get thicker and thicker. As long as the heat is low and you have already mixed in the chili powder thoroughly you can add a little water if it gets too thick, but keep in mind that it's supposed to be thick--real chili fans will tell you that a spoon should stand up if you stick it into a bowl of real chili!
That's it. Two hours and it's ready to eat. However, the longer it cooks, the better it'll be. Four hours, six hours, no problem. Start it in the morning and eat it for dinner, no problem. Refrigerate and reheat the next day, even better still. You can't cook it too long.

I put all these ingredients in a big pot and let it simmer with a lid on it for 2 hours or you can put it in your crockpot. Stir it from time to time so it won't stick and scorch on the bottom of your pot.
1 1/2 pounds browned ground chuck (crumbled)
can tomato paste
can tomato sauce
can stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons chili powder (add more or less to your liking)
2 cans water
1 1/2 cups chopped onion and bell peppers (sauteed)
2 cans of chili beans or kidney beans
salt, pepper, and garlic powder
1 package of chili seasoning mix

You will get millions of responces to this.
In a heavy sauce pan or skillet saute onions, garlic, and mushrooms in butter. Add a pound of ground beef and brown. Drain off the fat. Add a can of chile beans, (they come with their own sauce). Add a can of diced tonatoes. Adjust beans and tomatoes to suite your taste. Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve with cheddar/similar cheese, and some people like onions, on the side.

Chili, like so many other dishes, changes from hand to hand. Here is a version of mine (containing meat)
Cook up burger with sauteed onions, chopped garlic, salt and Pepper
Combine with several cans of drained beans (choose what looks good to you, any will do)
Add 4 Tablespoons of Chile Powder and 2 Tablespoons of Ground Cumin.
Add 3-4 large cans of chopped tomatoes, or tomato puree, or crushed, whichever you like - one of each, maybe.
Let sit cooking on LOW heat for several hours.
That is your basic chili. Take it from there...
