Chili Recipe

I'm being a little ambitious here and am planning a little Halloween get together. I am going to make some chili. I have a recipe that I've made a few times but it's nothing spectacular. So does anyone have any recipes for some chili that they absolutely love? If so, let me know...

I LOVE chili, but have only made it once. I am looking forward to the party!

Dave loves my chili, but I must warn you, I never can make it the same way twice. However, it always comes out really yummy. I mince 1/2 of a large onion, brown it (you want them to be a light golden color) in a non stick skillet with a tad bit of oil (about a 1/2 T). Then I throw in 1 lb of ground beef and brown it, with the onions. Add 1 can of s&w chili beans (with sauce), 1 can of black beans, 1 small can of tomato sauce or a really small can of tomato paste (for a thicker chili), 1 palmful of chili powder, 1 palmful of cumin, 1/4 palmful of garlic powder, a squirt or two of ketchup, and a few dashes of hot sauce. I made it for the ward party this weekend and doubled the beans to make it go farther. I also tried throwing it all in the crock pot, but that didn't work so well.

ooh, i have a good one. this is seriously the best one I've EVER found. and i don't even like chili that much!

Soak overnight 2 cups black beans in 4 cups water (I use the whole 16-oz package, about 2 2/3 cups, and give it some extra water).
Change water for 5 c. fresh in the morning, simmer 2-3 hours (I add water as needed). Then add
1 ½ t salt 1 onion, diced
1 t. red pepper flakes 1 lb ground beef (break it up)
1 t. dry mustard 3 T. sugar
1 t. chili powder 8 oz can tomato sauce
½ c. ketchup

Simmer 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.

*Note: I put in about 2/3 cup more beans and adjust the rest of the recipe up a bit, primarily on the ground beef. I use a larger onion and a touch more spices. I also use the crock pot for the last 1-2 hours of cooking and give it around 4 or 5 hours, alternating between high for the first couple of hours and low for the last two, then on “keep warm” for the last hour.
