and I can tell you, the best chili I've ever made was with the Carrol Shelby's chili mix.

I'm not one to normally recommend using any sort of prepackaged mixes, but this one is really really good.
And as far as I know, all natural.

The directions are easy to follow and leaves lots of room for experimenting.
