Recipe submitted by Charlie on May 8th, 2011

It's easy to make chili with a good old packet chili seasoning mix, but I reckon there's something pretty satisfying about cooking from real ingredients. Once you've made your chili, there are heaps of primo ways to have it: nachos, tacos, enchiladas etc.. Just be sure to serve it with cheese, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. Leftovers (if you have any) go real well in toasties the next day - yum. Note: this recipe is pretty mild, if you wanna crank up the heat then add more chili!
