Chili from West Virginia

A dish that can be completely different depending on where you at geographically, chili is that dish!

I find it very funny that some places don’t have beans inside their chili, to me that would be hot dog sauce.

And that is another thing hot dog sauce or hot dog chili? Where I am from in WV we refer to the stuff you put on a hot dog as hot dog sauce. Just one state over (not that far from my house) they refer to it as hot dog chili, funny isn’t it?

As soon as the weather begins changing from those hot summer days to the cooler fall evenings, is chili time. Chili is one of the first dishes we prepare and it is on repeat all fall and winter

Chili is also a very personal dish. I know people who like it sweeter than spicy, some like lots of beans others like no beans, some like ground beef others like sausage while others like shredded beef.

I will totally understand if my chili is not your favorite. At least give it a try and make the necessary tweaks you need to make it your own!
