This chili is spicy and rich, and is great to eat in front of a football game. It also warms you up on a cold winter night!
Although I am usually a proponent of fresh ingredients, this has canned beans and tomato sauce. It just makes it so easy!
The nice thing about this is the preparation time and the cooking time happen simultaneously, so if you're in a hurry you can really have this on the table in about 30-40 minutes. Follow one directions and while that is cooking move onto the next! You will end up with a pot of good stuff!
(If you want to make this ahead of time, you could make it in the crock pot. Dump everything in and cook it on low for several hours)

4. Add the beef and turn the heat to high. Break the meat up into small chunks. Leave it for about 1 minute so it browns, then mix it. Continue to do this for about five minutes until the meat browns and it starts smelling delicious!
5. Drain the cans of beans. Add in the tomato sauce and all the beans. Turn the heat to low.
6. Sprinkle in all the spices and mix. If you don't like food spicy reduce the cayenne pepper and chili powder by 1/2 teaspoon each. Simmer everything for about 15 minutes. You can eat at this point or continue to cook it for up to 45 minutes or until you are ready to eat! All the flavors will cook in a bit and it will thicken.
7. While this is cooking slice the jalapeno and grate the cheese.
8. If you want to make garlic bread chop 1 clove of garlic. Melt it in a small dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. Slice the bread. Baste the butter mixture over the slices. Broil the bread with the butter side up. Make sure to watch it! Bread broils very fast!
9. Serve the chili, add the toppings and dig in!
