Instead of doing a chili recipe, I am going to talk about how I like my chili. Chili is one of those meals you can have in any season.
In the winter time I like my chili chunky and spicy. The spice helps to elevate my body temperature and keep me warm in the cold weather.
In the summertime, I like it light and full of flavor.
During the spring and fall weather, am much more experimental with it adding signature seasonal flavours like curry, pumpkin and etc

I cook chili using leftovers.
How to cook Chili
My favourite way to cook chili is in a crock pot because am a lazy cook with a busy work schedule. There's nothing better than dumping everything into a crockpot in the morning and coming home to a house smelling of cooked food ready to go for dinner.
Another medium to cook chili is over a stove.
I'm not sure you can cook it in the microwave unless you're just heating up a store bought canned or frozen pre cooked version.
What's in my Chili
The basic foundations of a good chili meal is the Chili Pepper itself, proteins, vegetables and seasonings based on your palate.
Proteins: I actually prefer my chili with NO MEAT. Adding beans to chili can be a great substitution for meat. When I do use meat, I rely on ground turkey.
I will like to add that the original** chili recipe that came from south america DID NOT include beans.That is why famous regions like Texas do not put beans in their chili recipe. Just Meat + Chili.
Carbs (Starchy Vegetable) : I love corn. Corn usually dominates my chili more than any other grain.
Vegetables: Onions, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Celery
Chili Companions
I do not eat my chili with anything. I like it just as it is.
But if you must, you can eat your chili with corn chips, bread slices, rice, tubers like potato, yam, plantains and etc?
I like my chili plain with no whip cream, no cheese but
YEEEEES to Avocado!
