I made me some chili

Sign in to disble this ad
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!

You're half way there. Back off the water, toss in a couple big cans of crushed tomatoes, little cumin, a chopped bell pepper, and some beans - kidney/black/pinto.

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...

Chili is measured by the volume and amount of recorded farts. 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.

Just to clarify. I don't want anyone to think I'm a chili elitist or anything. 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.

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.

Same here. I don't always like everything they cook, but I can still pick up some pointers or tweak the recipe to something I do like.

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

Yes! Think in layers of flavors...

That works great in SALSA'S as well...

Capsicums rule!!

I just bought this stuff called "Devil Dust" from a hot sauce shop in Arkansas when I was back there a few weeks ago. Wow, it's good. Perfect in taco meat or chili.
