It smells better than it looks, Pitchy - but it needs to simmer for another couple of hours before we can tuck into it. :)

I think it's the beer I poured into it, that makes it Skookum........ :roll:

Many will say, it's got beans, it ain't chili -- but whatever it is, I'd take a bowl!

If it doesn't have beans it's not chili, it's spaghetti red topping.
On the other hand if it has tomatoes, it's soup.

Reckon that looks real good Pete, we made a big pot of Chili a couple of days ago. We use a store bought season mix and chili beans and tomatoes. You know what ? I am just waiting the Chili Police to show up, in all these years we have not heard from them. So enjoy it the way you want to!!!!!!!!!! We also use plain old hamburger cause there ain't no deer meat left.

Now, that is a true Texan's question. Here in Texas, I have learned what chili really was really meant to be. My Mother used to use beans and tomatoes in her chili. She grew up in SouthWestern Kansas and the Western slope in Colorado. That might be why her chili is more of a mild soup with beans, meat, tomatoes, and bell peppers instead of a thick spicy meat dish that can be eaten off of a plate. Me, I like it made both ways, as long as the bell peppers are left out. I am allergic to bell peppers. I like chili, serrano, and jalapeno peppers.

My wife made homemade chili one day last week when school was closed for the snow and my daughter was off due to that. Reminded me of living up north; the only part I miss (cold weather comfort food)!
