How do you make your chili?
Jim's "Makin' meat" thread got me thinking about chili.
I kinda cheat with this one, using the Carroll Shelby spices, but I doubt anyone would argue with the results.
What's your recipe?
Best dang chili recipe
My late father-in-law Jim Neill and I worked this up based loosely on Emeril’s Chuck Wagon Chili recipe.
2 pounds lean chuck roast, cut into small cubes; elk is great for this too!
3 cups chopped yellow onion
2 TBSP canola or olive oil
1 pkg Carroll Shelby’s Chili Fixins Kit
Brown beef cubes in batches until done, remove, then sauté onions until tender.
Add browned beef back into the pot and sprinkle in the Shelby’s kit seasonings except for the masa harina. Stir to coat beef and onions, then add:
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
12 ounces of Guinness Stout or other dark beer
1 ounce semi-sweet baker’s chocolate, chopped
1-2 TBSP molasses
1 or 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped. Warning – this is where the heat comes from and it is easy to overdo if you add much more.
½ teaspoon liquid smoke.
I let this simmer in a Dutch oven for about three hours, stirring occasionally. When it has thickened and the beef is tender, you can add the masa harina mixed with 1/3 cup water to thicken and further mellow the chili if you want. This is another recipe that is even better the second day, and it also freezes very well.

Re: How do you make your chili?
I’m not a chili maker. But I have strong opinions on what good chili is. Your recipe wins on several counts. The most important is that no beans were used.

Re: How do you make your chili?
I like to make up a batch of skillet chili using some sort of meat, onion, garlic, lots of chili powder, black beans, and whatever else occurs to me. Over cornbread or rice..Makes a couple of meals.

Re: How do you make your chili?
I also cheat and use Williams chili mix. I use extra. 10 lbs meat and mix for 12-13 lbs of meat. Just gives it a stronger flavor. But I add lots of onion, garlic, pepper, crushed tomato's and a half to full bottle of hot ketchup. I usually make at least 10 lbs at a time. Oh, for flavor, I also add some dried habanero/ghost chili pepper powder. I just go by taste and adjust how much of things I put in the chili. Sometimes I like it hot and sometimes I make it HOT!!! I freeze it and like to let it "age" for a few months, seems to improve the flavor.

Re: How do you make your chili?
My maternal Grandfather, Great Grandfather and one of my uncles all made a living from chili. Unfortunately the family recipe is lost.
Mom never made it because to her it was a two day project of mixing and grinding spices, chopping and cooking meat. and cooking beans.
I grew up eating brick chili from the grocery store.
Fortunately my Wife makes the best chili in the world.

Re: How do you make your chili?
I start by asking my wife if she thinks chili is a good idea? If she says yes, then I turn her loose, and just watch her get at it.

Re: How do you make your chili?
My Dad made good venison chile and would have it ready for my arrival. The smell would hit ya opening the door. Never with beans, he did always add barley, a nice touch. He's been dead 10 years Christmas.
Re: How do you make your chili?
Always buy whole tomatoes. They are the least buggered. Paste is the old moldy ones. Crushed one step up.

Re: How do you make your chili?
Most tomatoes you buy these days are a pale imitation of what they once were. And by pale I mean just that and tasteless too boot.
Even ones you get from your own garden are usually hybridized poor relations.
If you look hard you can find plants that produce good fruit. A plant can live a long time if cared for.

I ask the pretty lady in the kitchen if she needs anything, go get if she does and then stay out of the way.
Works out quite well.
She made some killer chili out of the boar sausage I'd gotten after the last couple of hunts. Time to go get some more.

Re: How do you make your chili?
i learned something very important from this thread: chili does not contain beans. what do you call cowboy cooking dutch oven recipes that DO contain beans???
Pati's (Mexican Restaurant) chili starts with beans, but what does she know?
I learned a lot about chili and found lots of recipes on the cowboy cooking websites, very interesting. i am grateful to destroy my ignorance, thanks all for the "straighten out and fly right" moment.
One thing I know is that I couldn't digest what y'all call chili. It'd destroy what's left of my stomach lining and then erode what's left of the rest of the GI tract. ( )

Re: How do you make your chili?
I've got the crock pot running this morning with a batch of venison chili. No secrets, I use the McCormic's chili seasoning and I cook it in the crock pot for at least fouor hours. I'll make some cornbread later and that's what we will enjoy today.

I used to... now I have to fix it myself it I want it. Open a can of Wolf"s Brand Chili and add meat... heat it up and enjoy! Oh yeah, adding cheese and onion is necessary for good health.

Re: How do you make your chili?
My wife does buy some great quality store bought chili at Costco.

Re: How do you make your chili?
So many different ways to make chili. I prefer mine with beans but could skip them but would still want some veggies in them. My last batch was red kidney beans, 4 tubes of chorizo paste, beef stir fry cuts (its cheaper than hamburger if you can believe it here in Ukiah, Ca???), orange bell peppers, red onions, 5 habanero peppers course chopped with seeds left in, some chipotle chocolate and it turned out pretty darn good! I didn't add any tomato products to this one except maybe some catsup, surprised it worked out so well. I would serve it in my church no problem.
Today someone made chili at my high school and it was in the staff room. It had pitted black olives in it. I looked at it and had my doubts, but you could not really taste them and overall, it worked just fine. -Tutt

Re: How do you make your chili?
I've probably never made chili the same way twice, some pretty good, others not so much. My late ex-MIL who was an Arizona native, and whose family moved here from Texas not long after statehood, claimed (none too politely) that my chili wasn't chili at all, but some kind of bean soup. It almost hurt my feeling (yep, singular, just one).

Re: How do you make your chili?
LOL, would agree, too many different ways to make it. I've been experimenting with it for decades and surprisingly, one of the best ones was using canned Mexican salsa style tomatoes in a quick chili! Never would have guessed that. V8 juice also a good base. -TuttIt almost hurt my feeling (yep, singular, just one).

Re: How do you make your chili?
There are "bad words" in this so just FYI. It is hilarious though. Maybe it gets censored...like abbreviating "assistant" was automatically changed to "butt'd"
Notes from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
Recently I was honoured to be selected as an outstanding famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a Chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me that I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted.
Here are the scorecards from the event:
CHILI # 1: MIKE'S MANIC MONSTER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A little to heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy pelosi, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with this stuff. I needed two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. Those Texans are crazy.
CHILI # 2: ARTHUR'S AFTERBURNER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavour. Needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave of two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to walkie-talkie in three extra beers when they saw the look on my face.
CHILI # 3: FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili. A bit salty. Good use of red peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting pelosi-faced.
CHILI # 4: BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
JUDGE ONE: Black Bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods. Not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.
CHILI # 5: LINDA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no linger focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly from a pitcher onto it. It really upsets me that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Freakin' Rednecks! ! !
CHILI # 6: VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions and garlic.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone!
CHILI # 7: SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum. Tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge # 3.
FRANK: You could puta #)$^@#*&! Grenade in my mouth, pull the #)$^@#*&! pin, and I wouldn't feel a d@&$ thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my X*$(@#^&$ mouth. My pants are full of lava-like pelosi, to match my X*$(@#^&$ shirt. At least the during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the four inch hole in my stomach.
CHILI # 8: HELEN'S MOUNT SAINT CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending. This is a nice blend chili, safe for all; not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry isa good balanced chili, neither mild now hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 passed out, fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank.

Re: How do you make your chili?
OK Fred, I'm responding as per your personal request. I corrected your spelling of "dilettante" by the way. I have "no beans" in this fight, people can make it just how they want, and the over-all presentation, say over corn bread, would make a "no beans" configuration make a lot of sense actually!Old Savage wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 8:50 pm Tutt, come to your senses. You are sounding like a trend sucking dilettante. Dam mitt, no respecting chili head would say anything but No Beans, makes them real and tough, Duke like! Now you straighten up before you get here next week or you are going to get a good talking to, got it?
I like some veggies in mine, all meat, would be a bit boring except when maybe served over something....
Regards,

Using V-8 spicy veggie juice can add some benefit without the annoying chunks of veggies.

Will have to try V8 in chili, I use it in beef stew with great success.

Re: How do you make your chili?
Don't they have a "spicey" version up there? That would be one more angle to the bite in the chili.
