I can't stand sweet chili. It's cat food. Not even. Even if I had cats, I wouldn't feed them sweet chili. I wouldn't put it out for the squirrels. Some restaurants here make sweet non hot chili. What's the point. The worst I've had, one of the worst was at Binions Casino in LV. I mean, it wasn't sweet, but it was like ground beef with cumin thrown in at the last minute. And I've had lots of lousy chili in Canada. Some restaurants make it so sweet. I make mine into Texas Goulash. At least it's edible, and delicious. No chili powder. Just Paprika(sweet), and hot Paprika or cayenne. And hot sauce. Onions, garlic, sometimes a red sweet pepper. TomPaste is good. Water, Salt. Oh, and cumin sometimes. Also cilantro, and some fresh parsley. Oregano. Have I left anything out?
