Texas Chili and The Chili Queens of San Antonio

I've made various chilis, with and without beef, but with beans (usually pinto, light or dark kidney, or black beans, either separate or altogether, are my favorites). My favorite chili is a mixture of beef and bison (both grass fed, of course, but I've also used elk, reindeer [from Alaska years ago] and venison. All are good). I've also used turkey and/or chicken, which is called "white chili". Of course, it has a different flavor to it. I like to add veggies (peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms etc) to my chili, making it more of a balanced meal, but I don't use water.
