Brown beef, evaporate liquid. Brown garlic, add a bit of water. Add tomatoes, spices. Add water to cover, simmer 1 hour.

Optional: 1 can pinto beans.
Not optional: Argue whether or not real chili contains beans.
Also optional: Serve with shredded cheddar. And rice. Or cornbread. Or tortillas. Or any combination.

That's the recipe as I received it. I usually add a bit more tomato, an onion with the garlic, and replace at least some of the water with beer. (I use Shiner Bock.)
