In a skillet mix:
2 T oil ( olive is my choice )
1 onion diced
2 peppers diced
3 cloves garlic
1 T cumin
2 t coriander
1 t oregano

In a crockpot or slow cooker mix:
1/4 cup chili
1/2 pound ground or diced small leftover meat
2 15oz cans of kidney beans ( drain water first )
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
1 4 oz can tomato paste
2 T lime juice
1 bottle beer

Brown up the vegetables and add the mix to the crockpot and cook on the lowest setting at least 2 hours, 4 is better.

Top with grated cheddar cheese.

It is likely chili started in the south western part of the U.S. The chili pepper comes from Spain and earliest published accounts of chili are all from the U.S.
