One of the best chili starters there is. Love this recipe. Do NOT precook the beef as Food Network Chefs say, cook it the way intended, all in one pot, and stir. I highly recommend following Cef PigseyeBBQ recipe on measurements as the food network chefs did the recipe completely out of proportion (Maybe Guy didn't like the chili as much as he acted on TV?? who knows I added 1 to 2 med. sized cans of crushed tomatoes to make it a bit more richer in tomato flavor, and some celery chopped into small chunks. This really does not change the thickness of chili, it just makes it that much better

I finally found a great start to good chili!!! Watched the video over and over and read VioletScope's rendition of the process. Well here's what I came up with:
1.75 lbs Ground Beef
15oz Can Tomato Sauce
1/4 Cup Dark Chili Powder
1/4 Cup Ancho chili powder
3 T Paprika
1 Large White Onion, Diced
1/8 Cup Freshly Pureed Garlic
2 T Cumin
A shake or two red chili pepper
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Pepper
1/16 Cup Sugar
Mix all ingredients in a large pot. Once mixed, put onto the stove on high heat for 10 minutes. Turn down to low, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours, keeping the lid on and stirring every 30 minutes.
After cooking for 2 hours, taste. Add what you think is missing.
I cook it down a little more and use that for a coney dog topping.

I saw this a few times on DDD and I finally decided to make it. It was very easy to make, and it was very good. I would recommend making this for a Friday night meal, or put it in your slow cooker and take it to your next pot luck gathering.
