I'm eating chilli every day at the moment, it's phenomenal
You're missing 3 things that could massively improve your chilli from that recipe though, chestnut mushrooms, bacon and chorizo.

Especially when you fry the onions and mushrooms in the oil from the fried chorizo, phwoar!

Mushrooms in chilli?
you're just weird. Chorizo fair enough, not sure about bacon though. And definitely not mushrooms.

Until 2 weeks ago, I didn't like mushrooms.
Start by cutting the bacon & chorizo up into small, rough pieces, scissors are best. Fry the bacon on low, before adding the chorizo. About 20 seconds later, add a small glug of vegetable/olive oil, and cook slowly. The oil will turn an orangey red.

After about 5-8 minutes, the bacon and chorizo will be cooked, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, taking no oil. Then, throw in your chopped mushrooms, and toss the pan so they're well coated in oil. 2 minutes later, add the onion, and cook them on low, so the oil is all soaked up.

Makes the mushrooms fantastic, and the sauce takes a nice bit of spice it wouldn't usually get.
