Chili is a spicy stew of chili peppers, meat, tomatoes and often beans that originated in San Antonio, Texas, during the 1880s. Beans were added to chili in the 20th century. The original recipes were hot mole, beef and a variety of hot chilies.
It’s become an American (and now international) phenomena to create the ‘best chili’. As long as the stew includes the base ingredients, you’re good to go.
Personal note from Laura:
My own recipe includes 4 types of chilies: roasted green, red flake, lion chilies and 2 habanero chilies; four meats (Portuguese sausage, bacon, ground turkey and sliced Tri-tip), two types of beans (black and kidney), mushrooms, black olives, garlic, lemon, liquid smoke, green unions (I hate regular onions), V-8 juice, dried tomatoes and tomato paste. We simmer it for 12 hours in the crockpot cooker. It is amazing…topped with extra sharp cheese or sour cream. This makes about 25 servings.
The point is, chili is an equal opportunity dish. You make it what you will…and it freezes beautifully. There is no right or wrong way to make a chili. As long as it includes chilies of some kind, you’ve got the stew called chili.
Enjoy National Chili Day.
