Grandma Karl's Chili

This is my grandmother's amazing chili recipe. My family uses between 87-93% lean beef, depending on what's on sale. You can use leaner meats or even turkey if necessary. My mother used to make it vegetarian by eliminating the beef and doubling the beans. These substitutions change the nutritional content dramatically.This recipe is best when simmered for longer, and is even better the second day (or third, if it lasts that long!) We reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, but it's great cold too.
