Tip #1
The definition of chili varies depending upon who you ask. Some would say beans are absolutely necessary, while others wouldn't think of adding beans to their chili. Other debates rage over ground beef versus cubed beef, or whether to use beef at all. Another area that is "hotly" debated is what kind of chile pepper goes into the chili: ancho, New Mexico, chipotle and serrano are some of the favored varieties.
