Notes: Any of the spices may be adjusted to fit your taste. I usually add extra ground red pepper since my family doesn't really need their stomach lining. If, like my husband, you are not a purest and really NEED beans in your chili you can make a separate pot of beans like I do. When serving those that want the beans I just put them in the bottom of the bowl and then add the chili. As a good wife or hostess I wouldn't want to embarrass them in front of everyone else.
Serve with chopped onion, grated cheese, chips and/or crackers.
