Ummh, sorry to the mid-westerners here, but flyover country chili does not deserve the name. Maybe hamburger bean soup? Not that it was bad. Just that none of it deserves the title of chili. What can I say. Green chile 4 ever. Runner up red ristra Chile sauce
RE: my comments on Midwestern chilly - I hesitate to give it the full title of chili. I've had it once before about 30 years ago. When one of my cohort was obligated to cook dinner and he came in with two shopping bags of cans and proceeded to dump them into a big pot and then call it chili. I objected then and I object now.
Chili, green with pork or red with carne - various allowed; ground beef at minimum, beef, venison...
I will not get into the bean wars.
