I just spent an entire weekend binge watching food programs on television and the internet. I realized I had seen 4 chefs cook their own interpretations of chili. I've always been a fan of chili but never bothered to learn how to make it. I always thought it was time consuming, and I would probably never use the spices again. Besides that, when you have discretionary eaters in your house, you try to accommodate everyone's palate as best as you can. I have kids that are picky eaters, and a husband who doesn't take his food too spicy. I did some research to find the simplest chili recipe, factored in/ out a few ingredients, and came up with an adapted recipe that worked. I had the family taste it as I went along so that we were on the same page with taste preference. It's savory with a bit of sweetness from the tomatoes, and just the right amount of spice.   Ingredients 2 lbs. ground beef ½ cup white onion ½ cup green pepper 1 clove garlic chopped 2 Tablespoons tomato
