Where I come from /ck/, chili is a thick, chunky, meaty and delicious dish. If it's made right it doesn't need anything but maybe a sprinkling of cheese. But where I live now (not too far away from Cincinnati actually, this horrendous trend's homebase), people put pasta into it, or serve it over pasta and I can't help but thinking that's some kind of sacrilege to the great thing that is a hot bowl of chili. It's just not chili to me anymore. Don't even get me started on "Cincinnati style" (read: over-sweetened, grainy, dog food mush) chili.

But enough of that. How does /ck/ like their chili prepared and served?

I make three different styles.
1) From powdered chilies.
I grind dry chilies into a dry powder, toss the powder (with cumin or not) with cubed beef, then sauté in with onion and garlic in lard until coloured but not cooked through. I add water or tomato juice, simmer the beef until tender, then season with bouillon cubes, finishing with a handful or two of cilantro and witch's oregano. If I have it, I add, also, hoja santa. The colour is very dark and the chili itself is only as thick as a non-roux stew.
2) From roasted chilies.
I fire-roast, deskin, destem and deseed (in that order) a variety of chilies. I purée them and set aside. Next, I sauté onion and garlic in lard and deglaze little-by-little with a whole can of beer (12oz/350ml) until the onion has melted into a gravy-like consistency. I add the chili purée, bring to the boil, lower to a simmer, then reduce its volume by half. I purée a second time and simmer down by another third and add a handful of cilantro. Finally, I sauté some beef (dusted with cumin or not) in a separate pan until coloured, but not cooked through, then add the chili sauce and cook until done, finishing with cilantro and witch's oregano. I never add hoja santa to this one.
This sort is more common in the far south of Mexico.
3) From reconstituted, dry chilies.
Similar to the one from powdered chilies, only the chilies are reconstituted in water rather than powdered. I always add tomato to this one. This one is more like the style with which most people in the US are familiar.

I may or may not add beans to any of the varieties I make.

I like all of them served with rice.

People who refuse to put beans in chili out of principle are idiots. Beans go well in chili, its don't be mad your retarded hick ancestors didn't figure that out. If "authentic is best" was true of anything there would be no reason for people to change recipes over time. Get with the times.

If you use 3 tablespoons of your store's standard chili powder and not whatever those 3 special ones in the recipe are, it will not be very hot. The teaspoon of cayenne is not going to make a large difference unless you are very sensitive to spice.

In my part of Texas, there's 2 kinds of chili.
Thick, made with good ground beef & steak cubes. Beans or no beans, strong tomato base. Very spicy, requires almost no additions though cheese, sour cream & crackers are often served.
Or
Soupy, almost like a thin stew. Chunks of beef & sausage, along with beans & other veggies. Throw in some cheese & serve over rice with crackers.

If you are using ground beef, any good ideas on how to judge how much water to add before you let it cook down. The problem is that you can't just cover the ingredients with an inch of water because when you add the water it goes from less soupy to more soupy and it's hard to know how soupy it should be before you let it cook down.

Exactly. "Beef cooked in water with spices and assorted other shit" is a whole spectrum of things. On one end you have spaghetti sauce, the other end you have chili. Skyline is way down on the spaghetti sauce end of the spectrum. I love the stuff and miss it dearly since I moved from there, but they shouldn't call it "chilli". If you can throw down and eat it by itself with a spoon its not chilli. Maybe "chilli sauce". Coney sauce or spaghetti sauce would work too.

And fuck the turd who got all uppity about tainting his precious spaghetti noodles by putting a sauce on them. Go ahead and eat them plain if you like.

Beans and ground beef have no place in chili, only the poor and/or the foolish do this. I only use whole cuts of chuck, spices, peppers, and onion in mine. Real chili is no bullshit, if I wanted something cheap id make something else before shitting up a good food w cheap ingredients.

I'm putting some on for dinner in a few minutes. I've got a can of crushed tomatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, a can of black beans, a can of pinto beans. To that I'll be adding a diced sauteed onion, a small can of diced jalapenos, some chopped garlic. I also have 1 1/2 pounds of moderately priced steak (it says "chuck blade steak", but I bought it because it's nice & marbled and only cost $5). Then tons of chili powder and black pepper, and a few other spices.

So, yeah, I like it chunky and thick. And cooked for for at least 6 hours. Over rice. With cheese on top. And cornbread on the side.

Cincinnati style chili is a meat sauce, not a stand alone dish. I rather like it on spaghetti with raw onion and a generous amount of shredded cheese.
