As always, I start with my mise:

2 to 3 lbs of PORK! It's the king of meats.
Olive oil
1 large white onion
Several cloves of garlic (I used 4)
2 4oz cans of chopped green chilies (I normally use fresh roasted ones, but couldn't find any)
2 t cumin
1.5 t oregano
.25t ground cloves
.25t cayenne pepper
64oz of Northern White Beans
16oz chicken stock
1 bunch of fresh cilantro
Sour cream and monterey jack cheese, if desired

Combine all the spices and set them aside. Do the same with the garlic and onions.

Chop your PORK! It's the king of meats. into bite size pieces. I usually give it a quick salting at this point as well.

Heat up the olive oil until a drop of water flicked into it spatters immediately, then saute your pork. Set it aside. Saute the onions and garlic until translucent, then add the chilies and the dry spices and saute for another couple minutes.

Add the meat, beans, and broth, bring to a boil, then let simmer for at least an hour.

Add the cilantro in the last 10 minutes of simmering or so.

Then eat!

It's pretty bad when you think to yourself, "Boy, I should get a white tablecloth or something so my guns show up better in photos".

I've had tomato free chili and I actually prefer it

Although I hate cilantro. It tastes like dish soap.

Also that gun looks kinda, I dunno, comic book. What is it?

Are you drinking MILK with Chili?

It's made with Chicken Stock, Pork meat, and White beans.

Arttemis... You have shamed me.

Although that does look and sound tasty. You're still a heathen for calling it chili, and you went light on the cayenne you freak!

I must applaude you again for the fresh herbs, kudos.

You made Pork and Beans, not Chili. Mind you, it is an interesting take on pork and beans. But theres certain things that make Chili what it is. You left those out.

Emeril Cookware.. please tell me that was a gift or something. Buy some decent glasses, and return that one to the pizza hut you stole it from.

Presentation is sloppy. Don't overfill the bowls, wipe the edges off. Yes, a table cloth would showcase the gun better, but if you're gonna do that, you need to wipe down the gun better so the smudges and fingerprints aren't so visable.

That's a chili. It might not be a very impressive chili, but it's a chili none the less.

Replace the Chicken Broth with a Shiner Bock.

Replace the White Beans with Kidney Beans.

Add a tablespoon of Malt Vinegar, or if you must Worcestershire Sauce.

Add one large can of whole tomatoes in sauce.

Add one de-veined chopped habanero.

Cook on medium/low for 8-12 hours, add equal parts water and beer if it reduces too much.

Then you got a good chili.

The canned chilies are a crime unto nature, but I understand the situation and it can work if you drain them first.

If you tried making that at an ICS-sanctioned cook-off you'd be beaten with so many wooden spoons, you'd flinch every time you drove past the lumberyard.

I don't know, man.

The recipe seems fairly solid, but it's so visually unappealing. I like Tyewa's version.

I just take about eight cans of beans (including one can of refried), some meat, and a can of salsa and mix it together.

Are there bean-less chili's? I don't like beans.. I know it wouldn't be a true chili, but I'm just wondering.

I also hate cilantro. Every time I eat it, I get sick.

According to Texans, real chili doesn't have beans. If you look at some of the chili cookoff websites, you'll probably find some good ones.

I don't like chili with beans and don't put them in myself. I thought chili was a "add whatever the heck you want" type of thing.

Beanless chili is also the way to go when making chili dogs. I prefer Nathan's Hot Dogs, Hormel Chili with no Beans, shredded cheese and chopped onions when I'm making my own chili dogs at home.

Edit: Go to http://www.chilicookoff.com for the ICS homepage. They have recipes you can try out there.
