Around here, chili grind is meat that's been run through the grinder
just once, using the plate with the largest openings, maybe 1/4 inch.
Thing is, the meat cooks down and looks like regular hamburger grind
by the time the chili is done.

I make my chili the old-fashioned way, by dicing the meat in cubes of
1/2 inch, or so.
