I'm up in the rainy country, but I like my chili Texas style.
Cubed meat. Species isn't really important. I've used elk, moose, venison, bear and (shudder) beef.
Onion
Chili powder
Garlic
Beer-Dos Equis preferred
Fresh habanero peppers.*
*no wimps allowed in my house. I love to watch people flopping on the floor like a dying fish
