A good make-ahead chili from A Common Table: 80 Recipes and Stories from My Shared Cultures (page 170) by Cynthia Chen McTernan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Sweet sesame skillet cornbread

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This has become my go-to chili recipe! We try others and keep coming back to this one.

    We added unsweetened cocoa powder towards the end and quite a bit more salt, and with those tweaks it was absolutely delicious.

    This is a delicious chili, and may be my go-to recipe now. I followed the recipe pretty exactly, except I did double the amount of beans. It's a bit spicy if you add the larger amount of dried red pepper and cayenne, but I like that.
