Chili Con Carne (Chili Beans)

If you love a hearty chili, with plenty of ground beef and pinto beans-- chunks of tomato and a perfect balance of chili, cumin and mild green chilis...this one is for you! I've been making this chili recipe for decades, and it's become a Super Bowl tradition. My version is pretty mild, but you can always add chipotle chili or lots of hot sauce if you want five-alarm chili. This is perfect to slow cook in a crockpot. Serve with grated cheese, or sour cream and guacamole. We love it with warm flour tortillas.
NOTES: This recipe might seem like a lot of work, but hold on! You don't have to make the homemade salsa, and can use your own bottled salsa. I can assure that my homemade version is really easy to make, and I use it all the time. The Mexican seasoning is also optional, if you have your own Chili seasoning that you prefer.
