Chili is made in countless different ways. Some chili dishes are spicy, while others are mild. There is even vegetarian chili. If you are looking for the right chili recipe for you there is quite a bit to consider.

Some of the basic ingredients used in chili include hamburger meat, chili seasoning or chili powder, paprika (usually in the chili powder mixture), cumin, cayenne pepper, and fresh hot or mild peppers. This are the ingredients usually used to make chili, along with one or more of the following: tomato sauce, whole tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, and onions.

For a very spicy chili you would want to add larger doses of dried cayenne pepper, as well as pieces of jalapeno peppers. Some people even use peppers hotter than these two varieties. It is best if you want to make a spicy chili if you would test it before you add the spice to the entire batch. In addition, you may have to keep a milder version of your chili on hand around.

Some people prefer chili with noodles. This is sometimes referred to as Chili Mac, because the dish usually has macaroni noodles in it. Other people like to add spaghetti to their chili, or top it with cheese, croutons, or crackers. Chili not only is a tasty, filling home-style dish that can be eaten on its own, but is also a great addition to a bake potato. Baked potatoes are even sold in restaurants topped with shredded cheddar cheese and sometimes with onions. Usually these are sold according to the taste of the customer.

Homemade and canned chili is often used in making a dip as well, or a taco salad. A taco salad is made with chips or edible tortilla bowl, lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives and more. The chili is used in taco salads in place of the usual taco flavored meat that would normally be used. When chili dip is served, it is usually put in a bowl and served with melted cheese. Sometimes it is mixed with sour cream.

You can find recipes available for more exotic styles of chili as well. For example, you can eat chocolate chili, which actually has chocolate in it as an ingredient. This ingredient is added along with the ingredients to most traditional chili recipes. In addition, you can try another exotic chili, called White Chili.

White chili is made with chicken instead of beef, along with some of the traditional chili ingredients. In addition, it contains alternative ingredients such as cilantro, dried oregano leaves, hominy, lime, and navy beans. In addition, tortilla chips are added.

A similar vein of chili to the White Chili is the White and Green Chili recipe, which contains very similar ingredients. Two of the differences are that the White and Green version uses olive oil instead of vegetable oil in it, and also it uses Monterey jack cheese.

Another type of more exotic chili is the Seafood Quartet Chili, which uses quite a few ingredients and also has in it Scrod, Shark Steak, Scallop, and Squid meats. Other ingredients added to this seafood chili include green salsa, dried cilantro, cooked beans (kidney, pinto, or other), sun-dried tomatoes, as well as green and red bell peppers, and other ingredients and spices.

Two other exotic types of chili include the Green Garlic Chili, which has chuck roast in it, and the Havana Moon Chili, which is made with ground pork and ground chuck. The Green Garlic one also includes ingredients such as California chili peppers, drained canned tomatillas, whole garlic bulbs, ground pepper, skinned and sliced tomato, and chopped fresh basil. The other chili has quite a few additional ingredients in it as well.

Other ingredients included in the Havana Moon Chili include some traditional chili ingredients along with cinnamon, allspice, cloves, blanched almonds, black beans, and white rice. This one is one recommended for those with an expensive taste that are tired of the same old chili recipe.

The type of chili that you decide to make depends upon what type of company you would have over. For example, a group of wealthy executives may not eat the same types of chili that a group of guys would at a football team. Furthermore, if you want to impress grandma, you would want to consider her tastes. Not only that, but if kids will be eating the chili you will not want to make it too spicy, in most cases. These are all generalizations, of course, but can serve as a guide.

You now know that you have quite a few choices to begin with. It is very easy to find all the recipes for these. In fact, they are found online for free in most cases.
