Yelp has listed some of the restaurants that serve the best chili in El Paso & they include:

• El Taquito. 1422 Airway Blvd
• L & J Cafe. 3622 E Missouri Ave
• ELEMI Restaurant. 313 N Kansas St
• Lucy's Coffee Shop. 1305 N Mesa

Of course you can always make homemade chili & my family has certainly made plenty of it. Here's one recipe my uncle made that actually won a competition at his workplace called "Kyle's Sweatin' Chili":

• 1 green pepper
• 1lb ground Italian sausage
• 1lb ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes in puree
• 15 oz. can red kidney beans (undrained)
• 1/2 cup French's Classic Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 (1 1/4 oz.) pkgs of McCormick's chili seasoning mix
• Cook beef & onion in nonstick pot until meat is browned then drain.
• Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling & simmer for 15 min.

Or if you want something a little milder, my mom loves to make Chicken Taco Chili

• 1 can of black beans drained & rinsed
• 1 can of kidney beans drained & rinsed
• 1 can of corn drained
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 packet of chicken taco seasoning
• Red pepper flakes and salt & pepper to taste
• 1 28oz can diced tomatoes with chiles
• 1 8oz can of tomato sauce
• 3 or 4 chicken breasts
• 1 diced onion
• Put all ingredients in crockpot & cook on low for 8 hours.

However you wish to celebrate National Chili Day is entirely up to YOU, just make sure to have something to cool your mouth off.
