chili

Chili is a form of stew often cooked in a slow cooker, from America's southwest cuisine.  

There are several varieties:

• Chili con carne -- (chili with meat, generally beef)
• Vegetarian chili
• Vegan chili
• Spicy chili
• Turkey chili

Most chili recipes are meant to simmer for at least a few hours, so be sure to get an early start on your dinner!
