I always like to add a little bit of chocolate and about a half cup of strong coffee to my chili. I know it sounds kind of weird, but I got those two "secret" ingredients from talking to people at chili cookoffs. It really works nicely. Also a little masa flour at the end really adds a nice corn flavor, and works as a thickening agent.

If you are adding beer or coffee do you use it instead of water?

if you replaced all the water in chili with coffe, noone, absolutely noone would eat it, well except maybe moonhead( ), but still, man that would be horrible.

My chili recipe is very simple, but it turns out pretty good:

1 lb. Ground Beef
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 can beans (I prefer black beans, but pintos are good too)
a "bunch" of chili powder (I usually just dump a bunch in there, since it helps everything thicken up, and adjust to taste from there)
Hot sauce to taste

That's the base, then you can start adding other stuff - I usually go with some finely chopped peppers and onions - I have been known to go with BBQ sauce on occasion.
