The weather here is a foul 42 degrees with rain, so I decided I'd cook up a pot of chili to warm things up.
3 pounds stew beef, garlic, Tabasco, Chili Powder, paprika, secret ingredient, and a quart of water. Brown meat in oil, ad water & spices, and then simmer for 2 1/ 2 hours. I shredded some of the meat up to give it a little body. Dinner tonight will be divine!

And that meat needs to be more finely chopped
Reason: There is a surface area/ mass ratio in which the beef no longer absorbs flavor...It becomes more like stew or roast... I go with 1/4 inch cubes... and there's no reason to cook it for longer than an hour (especially if you cut the meat into smaller pieces)... Let it sit after cooking, so all of the flavors can mingle and make friends...
I could go on but enough with the competitive Chili talk...
Just add bacon... |

For instance, the chili from sir willy wankers castle that recently won the Long Beach Chili cookoff was 25db 30 farts per bowl. Others measure duration and fragrance but that's just plain redonkulous. |

I have no qualms with beans in my chili. My statement was made to reflect the sentiments of the competitive chili cooking community and in no way reflect my personal feelings about chili. With beans, without, vegetarian, all chili is suitable for consumption.

| | Registered User Brownchicken Browncow | | Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Phoenix, AZ | | | should try adding some bitter chocolate and a little coffee to your chili along with some crushed tomatoes or fresh tomato concasse i also love going with multiple types of chilies instead of using "chili powder". for example, roasting poblano, peeling, dicing and adding them in, as well as reconstituting guajillo's, and new mexico red chili, and roughly puree'ing them and adding them in as well. plus adding in a little of the "stock" from reconstituting the chilies. also some chopped onion in there as well.

I can't wait for McCargo's show to come back on in January.
