Chili Recipe Needed

Hey, I was at a restaurant the other night and I had a
bowl of caribou chili, which got me to thinking how I would
like to be able to make my own chili at home. But i ain't
got a recipe for it, so if anyone could give me a good chili
con carne recipe, I'd much appreciate it. thanks. joey

One medium chopped onion
3 to 5 cloves of minced garlic
One pound beef
Two 16 oz. cans Tomato sauce
one 8 oz. can of corn
3 or more tbs. chilli powder.
2 tbs. ground cummin
chopped fresh parsley to taste - whatever you like
oregano - whatever you like
1 or 2 bay leaves
Ground cayanne pepper or* minced fresh jalapeno peppern to
taste.
Juice of one lime
2 tsp. sugar.
black pepper - whatever you like.
....oh yes whatever beans you can get hold of

I don't tend to follow a specific recipe - it changes
depending whats in the cupboard.

yeah, recipes do tend to change according to what is
available. Like James Barber, the urban peasant says, "food
is like sex, you gotta use what you got." It is just makes
sense that you cannot use what is not available to you. I
have been doing a little research on chili, and i am getting
the general idea of what is in it, and taking whatever is
most common from all the recipes. so far, the most common
ingredients have proven to be

beef
onion
garlic
can tomatoes
cumin
chili powder, naturally
salt pepper, naturally
beans.

i just have a hard time getting it to the right consistency.
i'd like it to be really thick and chunky. perhaps i come
to this stage by reducing (simmering) for along time, to
evaporate the water in the tomatoes? hmmm....
