Post your favorite Chili recipie

I love cooking, but moreso, I love chili. My old roomates and I used to make a huge pot of chili every sunday and invite our friends over for a sunday feast. Unfortunately, in recent years due to my ulcer, I have to avoid tomatos and tomato products. But no matter, I present to you a recipie for a tomatoless chili. (Though I still yearn for a good hot texas chili )
