I go this route, quite frequently myself. I know what the basics are, and using my imagination at the time, usually pay off with a good bowl or two...or three.

put stuff in pot. add more stuff until it tastes right.
but i usually use stew beef, and i usually add a few dried chiles, and i usually add a tiny pinch of cinnamon and a bit of dark chocolate (not enough so you can spot them, but they make a nice background for the heat)

I see this a lot, now. I will have to try this.

- Diced meat (often pork)
- Minced meat (often pork)
- Beans (small cans, two different types)
- Union, garlic
- Pineapple
- Anything that adds heat (sriracha sauce makes that easy)
No fancy herbs but just basic beans, meat and heat.

My dad used to make his chili and green chile stew with a good pork.

Look up Original Sin Chili. There are minor variations on the theme. It's a great no-bean chili my family has been eating for decades. (especially good with toast and peanut butter, another tradition)
|

Besides the usual ingredients (beans, hamburger meat, spices, onions, etc.), we like to add the following toppings: grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, onions (yes, double onions: cooked and raw), AND...wait for it: SPANISH PEANUTS!

I use all the ingredients you have mentioned at some point, but I have not tried the peanuts...spanish peanuts!! Very interesting.
I have tried Spanish olives, which imparts a unique flavor as well.

If you have no Spanish Peanuts, Virginia Peanuts will do in a pinch (but use more than a pinch).

I had to double-check the URL and make sure my browser somehow hadn't loaded some Martha Stewart recipe-trading site.
Nah, kidding. Good stuff, all around. Except that now I'm craving chili. Good going.

Here is a great one from Bob Pease who was an analog engineering legend, and wrote columns exclusively for Electronic Design magazine until his death in 2011. Bob obtained a BSEE from MIT in 1961 and was a staff scientist at National Semiconductor Corp., Santa Clara, CA, for many years. He had a sense of humour and knew a bit about chilli too. This recipe was seriously published in an electronic design magazine a few years ago.
What's all this recipe engineering stuff, anyhow?

Reminds me of a CS major here at Ivy Tech who placed his code in alphabetical order, and complained when it wouldn't work.
True story. I was in the same class. The entire class (incl. the professor) was unable to speak. The first sound (from a classmate) was 'Ummmmmmmm....'.
I still don't know what happened to the guy, as I haven't seen him for a while.

He's probably a project manager.

That is just terrible....Oy, how embarrassing for him. And he didn't even realize just how stupid what he had done was.

That's probably an honest mistake if he learned Basic first. Basic has the numbers before each line and he may have thought to sort it alphanumerically.

This was Python. AFAIK he did the same thing in his C++ class.

I think he got a job writing unit tests for regular expressions engines.

Very nice. "When smoke gets in your eyes..."
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Very nice indeed. We are in your debt for these updates every day - making up for some of the other changes we see every day
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.
