This is what I consider a classic chili recipe, and Phil gets all the ingredients and basic preparation just right.
I like to add kidney beans or other beans very late in the process, and use less hot pepper than most people.
I serve piping hot with crackers and cheese.

I confess Phil's chili has changed my life. I now truly feel like an important participant in the food geek enterprise.I had a dinner party and served this wonderful dish which was a great hit with my uncle Basil.
