Wifey's chili. She starts with the creole trilogy. Some will say "wut?!" to celery in chili, BUT, wifey's chili es gud. Other than the inclusion of celery, hers is pretty straight up ground beef 'n' red kidney bean chili... tomato, garlic, chili powder, cumin, ground cayenne pepper (just a dash). She makes it thick without masa flour, just a whole lotta umph.
