Fresh everything and take your time.

Okay!!! Garlic, fresh minced garlic, chili powder a little of Emerils "Kick it up" sauce. Shredded turkey, chicken or tri tip. Tomato sauce, salt, pepper, cumin, kidney beans and a lot of TLC,
Stick all the ingredients in your crock pot and all the seasonings, let simmer all day on low or medium heat. When meat is done, shred it and put it back in for about 20 minutes. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and hot corn bread and a bit of maple syrup to drizzle over top the corn bread..... This a family favorite f mine that everyone loves.
Get it in the crock pot early and your done until dinner, you can serve a light salad on the side too.
This is my own crazy recipe. I hope you enjoy.

ground hamburger fried in a skillet till well-done
pinto beans
chili beans (We buy mild, but there are hot ones.)
diced tomatoes (They have canned diced tomatoes with seasonings, which add some zest.)
vegetable juice (V8 or other brand)
purple onion chopped up fine or dried onion flakes
chili powder~as much as needed
Combine in pot, and cover. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer. Around here, we call it "cooking down" chili~or soup or beans.
We don't like spicy chili, but you can adjust it to your taste. We always made it this rather simple way, but some enthusiasts likely are shrieking in dismay.

Start with good ingredients.
Make sure the meat gets "caramelized".
But the real secret is to sing an Italian song over the chili while it cooks. And stir, stir, stir - you need to "worry it to death".

I like noodles in my chili. Just like elbow macaroni or something else that's small. It just adds a new texture.

The onions, peppers, garlic, beans, and some secret spices that I can't tell you about. Let it simmer on low all day long.
