Well, a proper chili should fit the bill on all counts:

fat
tomatoes
spices
onions

Oh, sure, people make chili with turkey and tvp and stuff,
but the real deal should provide a good dose of fat. If
you feel your chili is lacking, you could augument the
fat with some cheese and/or tortilla chips.

(Seriously, I know that a BLT for dinner will have me
refluxing all night, but sometimes you've just gotta
when the summer tomatoes are ripe.)
