To me, chili is one of the best meals to cook. Unless you are silly with the heat (fire) you almost can't overcook it. It will let you experiment and play with flavors if you are willing to be careful and slow. Start with the basics - meat and heat. Think about the gravy or sauce... now think about how you'll keep the flavors distinct. And after a bit you can think about how you make it yours... At least that's how I see chili - I've never been in a competition and I live about as far from Texas as a guy can get. I don't worry about what should or shouldn't be in there... I just want something my family will enjoy.
