I thought any grocery store carried red chili powder? It is in with the McCormick spices? So I was surprised that you thought you had to ask about it, Lobodeb. Oh, I just checked my cupboard. It says "chili powder," and it is red. Not the same thing?

Also, I know some places do NOT consider kidney beans as a part of chili. "Chili does NOT contain beans!" is a motto somewhere; I thought it was Texas, not sure.

I will be watching this thread; I know some great recipess are here already and more to come!
