We do a mix of bison and beef most of the time. No beans unless it's veggie chili, then I add lots of beans along with veggie crumbles from morning star.
Oh and I HATE spicy chili. It needs to be very mild for me to like it. And cornbread on the side is not optional. It's a MUST.

Definitely meat and beans.
H makes a chili with pineapple in it. It's actually pretty amazing, and he's won chili contests with it. But I never would've thought to put pineapple in my chili. No way.

There MUST be beans and veggies! I actually like mine with ground turkey instead of beef. The spicier the better too! I can take or leave noodles and prefer rice if I'm having a starch, but I can eat it just plain.
Thanks @luckyangel07.. I want to make some now!

Food that makes me sweat is not even remotely enjoyable!
Have you ever put chopped green onions on top? Holy cow... talk about the cherry on top!! I can't do chili without the onions now

There also has to be the option of putting oyster crackers on top too.

I'm the SS because my chili is situational dependent.
Is it going on my hot dog? No beans.
Am I eating it out of a bowl? Definitely meat and beans.
my read shelf:
Easy and very tasty.
Usually I make brown rice and put some in the bowl, then chili over top of it. Sprinkle some cheddar or sour cream on top. (can be garnished with cilantro too)
Ohhhh....and one final thing I want to add as far as the spice level....always start small because you can always add more heat, but you can't take it away. Not all chili powders are created equal either. I learned the hard way when we had a dinner party at my apartment in Spain and I almost killed the one Mexican in the house with the chili I made. It was THAT spicy!
