I'm going to look for the fire roasted crushed tomatoes. That would simplify my recipe which is very similar. Thanks! It was a great day to make chili, I did too!

A straightforward chili is usually the best. I add a bit more garlic and spice to mine (a little allspice or cinnamon sometimes, or a bit of chipotle, once some fresh sage and serranos), but this is the way to make chili. This also put me in mind of that recent Mark Bittman article in the Times about simple recipes for the holidays. If the basic ingredients are quality, you don't need a lot of culinary legerdemain to make them yummy. Nice. A straightforward chili is usually the best.
