Your Chili Recipe

Ok Biatchez..

What's your chili recipe?

I am making my first ever pot of chili right now. Throwing in onions, green and red peppers and about 5 lbs of hamburger, plus 3 cans of plum tomatoes. Added some chili powder and that shit is cooking now. I also have some celery I am throwing in a little bit and red kedney beans. Going to keep adding the chili powder and keep tasting it as I go...and maybe some cayenne too to spice it up.

I did a bit of web surfing and this is what I came up with that seemed simple enough.

How you make it? I love chili and it is freakin balls frozen to the ice cold here, so it is a must, but no idea if this will be any good. It looks good tho.

So what yer chili?

I like a vegetarian chili also. Pretty much the only difference is leave out the hamburger, use more kidney beans, plenty of celery, corn, carrot chunks, etc. You can get experiemental with the veggies. Spices pretty much the same as a regular chili.

Mines allready in the boxer chow section

Buy some hot peppers, chop them up and bung them in.

Although I pretty much give this advice on anything anybody is making. :)

Sounds good, not sure about celery in chili but either way

How long you guys cook it for?

I've been brewing it on low heat for about 2 hrs. Trying to resist eating it until it is ready, buy meh...is smelling pretty damn good. I added in the kindey beans and stuff about an hour ago.

Yea I like spicy...so I wish I had hot peppers. Hoping the cayenne does the trick.

Hormel Chili, Minced Garlic and cubes of Velveeta Cheese

Lean Ground beef...drained
Green onion Sausage....not much
Kidney Beans
some pinto beans
thin sliced purple onion
chopped green pepper
Diced creole Tomatos
1 can "chili magic".....mainly a sauce base,thats it-Chily powder
Mrs.Dash table blend
Tabasco Sauce.....as you desire but be prepared :flamed:
Salt-Pepper-
Some other stuff but its a matter of what you like

Ohh.....Ritz crackers on the side.......or french bread.Man,Im hungry now.and a kleenex for the nose ;D

i love chili :)

For adding heat Encona hot sauce works well in everything you use it in. It's basically chopped up Habanero and Scotch Bonnet peppers. If normal hot peppers are two or three on a scale of ten then Habanero/Scotch Bonnet peppers are a ten. You can even burn yourself chopping them up. I love hot peppers and eat them by the pound but I won't even try eating those things raw for a bet. In Encona sauce they're just edible as you can control the dosage. :)

Turned out not too bad. A bit bland. Added some salt n pepper and topped it with chedder cheese...not bad at all.

I'll prob. bumb this post on the next batch I make...and will try something completely different. WIll be eating chili right thru till March. :)

speaking of chili i just ate some. but it was plain ol wolf chili but i added salt n pepper, with shredded cheese, and spoon of salsa. with some crackers on the side. im full :)

:puke:

I was watching some show, I don't know if it was on the food network or the travel network-probably the more manly one of those two-and they showed this thing where like the main way of eating Chili in like Cleveland or Ohio in general is that they put the Chili on top of spaghetti and then dump a shitload of cheddar cheese on it. I don't know.

bump for making Chili today.

Got a shitload of peppers I just put in with onions and garlic. Red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers of different varieties, then the hot stuffs...jalepena, habenaro and jamaican hot peppers.

Any of you guys ever eaten a jamaican pepper? holy shit! It looked harmless enough. Sorta like a small unripe shrivelled green tomato. Cut into it, took a little piece seeds and all and had a bite. 5 seconds later was sucking on the water faucet trying to put out the fire in my face. :D Good stuff.

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Loving this thread - one of my fave dishes - here's my now not so secret reciepe i devised after working in a pro kitchen for a few years :

Serves 6-8

1.5lb's Lean Mince,
3 large Onions - Red or Spanish,
1 Chorizo sausage or 4-5 rashers of Smoked bacon cut into lardons,
Handfull of mushrooms,
Garlic - i like plenty,
Selection of dry herbs and spices to include;
Chilli powder 2-3 tsp's dependent on heat,
1tsp of Cayenne Pepper,
1tsp of Paprika,
2tsp cumin seeds,
3tsp Corriander seeds,
1tsp Oregano,
1tsp Thyme,
1/2 tsp Rosemary,
2 tins/cans of tomato's
1 tin of beans - i actually prefer baked beans rather than kidney beans,
half pint of Beef stock,
1 tbls Tomato Puree,
Salt & Pepper to taste.

Ok, quite simple really, slice your onions, mushrooms and garlic and sautee off in pan till onions are translucent. Remove from pan set aside.
In same pan fry off your chorizo/ smoked bacon lardons for 2-3 mins, remove from pan and set aside with the oil that comes from it.
Add Meat to pan and brown off, drain off any fat from the meat if not using lean meat.
In a seperate pan gently fry off the cumin and corriander seeds ( if ya cannot get the seeds just use ground powder but seeds are better) untill ya smell the aroma. Add these to a pestle and mortar and crush then add all the other spices and herbs and ground together.
Throw this aromatic mix into the browned mince and stir along with pepper and abit of salt, not too much at this stage as need to adjust at the end.
Fry the spice mix with the meat for a further few mins then add to this the onions, mushrooms, garlic, and chorizo/bacon, stir and mix.
Now add your tomato's and beans, stir on a lowish heat to amalgamate the flavours.
Finally add the stock and tomato puree stir and bring to the boil. Once bubbling lower the heat to the lowest possible and cover to simmer for 2-3hrs. Now the longer ya leave to simmer the better the flavours will become.

Hey Presto the perfect Chilli !
Note i haven't used any chilli peppers, this will be spicy enough, although if desired add jalepeno's at the end of cooking or before serving, adding the chilli peppers before will result in mush and they will lose they integrity.


Try it, it's bloody lovely ;)

that sounds awesome matty! :)

There you talk my vocabulary, I make what I consider an excellent chili and I am more than willing to share the recipe for the chili fans over here and to exchange tricks with the others! Instead of taking grind meat, cut some small peaces of veal of beef, let them marinade a couple of hours in a cup of white wine with water, olive oil, a bit of basil, salt and pepper. Then while you cook it, add chili pepper (or in powder if you have none under hands), kidney red beans, a bit of corn with green pepper and onions and you'Re in for the hell of a feast:)

Freezing balls off outside...hands fooking purple almost.....THE thread to bump.Dinner is solved ;D

Perhaps I should add more details: once your beef cube has marinated well for a couple of hours in your white wine with basil, salt and pepper (you can add oregano and thymes too if you have some under hands), pour a good quantity of butter in the pan, let it melt and once it's warm, put the meat inside. Once your meat starts to be well roasted, add a small amount of white wine again and then pour the vegetables. Wait till the veggies start to get golden and then add a fair amount of mashed tomato with salt and pepper again, stir up well and add the chili powder and voila!!! if you have more spices under hand a small amount of PAprika might be good as well :)

When I was at my parents for Christmas I made some actually with ground turkey cause my stepdad's family has heart problems and he's getting older and I was kind of shocked by how good it was, I mean its better with ground beef but not by that much. Just made a pretty standard chili, beans, tomatoes, chili powder, onions, etc., I like a fair amount of cayenne.
