no but seriously gimme your chili recipes and tell me how big a pot i'm going to need

3/21/2009 11:05:50 PM

2 medium onions, chopped fine
1 medium green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch strips
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped jalapenos
2 t paprika
3 T ground cumin
2 t ground coriander
3 t dried cayenne
3 t dried oregano
1/2 t cocoa powder
1 lbs. ground beef
1 tube country sausage
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato puree
Salt
Pepper

Heat a large stock pot over medium. Add ground beef and country sausage. Cook, breaking up chunks, until no longer pink. Drain excess oil.

Add onions, pepper, garlic, cocoa and spices and cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft and beginning to brown.

Add the beans, tomatoes, puree, and 1/2 t salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.

Remove the cover and continue to simmer 1 hour longer (if the chili looks too thick, add a bit of water).

Adjust the seasonings with additional salt to taste.

thx

ick on the cocoa powder though

3/22/2009 8:18:33 AM

You can't taste the chocolate lol. It helps bring out the flavor of the hot peppers, a well-known cooking trick.

Oh, and sometimes I add a can of beer to the chili if I have some laying around.

My Colt 45 Chili

http://chefsnewf.blogspot.com/2004/10/snewfs-colt-45-chili.html

3/22/2009 11:57:42 AM

i suppose i should mention i hate liquor and beer and etc.

but so long as it's not a super key ingredient it could still work, thx

3/22/2009 1:13:21 PM

it's not essential in mine, but it does make it a lot better

you don't taste beer, but i think it's something w/ the yeast

3/22/2009 1:15:57 PM

eh, fuck, i suppose i could give it a shot

i don't mind beer brats, so who knows

3/22/2009 1:18:29 PM

coincidentally, i was planning on making mine today

3/22/2009 1:19:26 PM

Anyone have good ones with beef but no beans?

3/22/2009 1:35:16 PM

3/22/2009 1:39:14 PM

yeah the beer doesn't taste like beer

it just has lots more flavor than water

3/22/2009 1:40:21 PM

I don't really have one

I just throw a bunch of stuff in, spice it, and see how it turns ou t.

3/22/2009 1:40:37 PM

that's what i'd normally do, but i'm trying to avoid some missteps

3/22/2009 1:44:36 PM

chili can always be fixed

3/22/2009 1:46:11 PM

just tasted and this batch is HOT

3/22/2009 2:25:03 PM

You're just mad 'cause there's no clock in your hat.

3/22/2009 5:30:17 PM

1 lb ground beef
1 can texas pete chili sauce
~¾ cup ketchup (not sure, i usually put enough in the pan till it looks right)

brown the beef, ground it up, stir in the texas pete chili sauce and then the ketchup...stir until it looks consistent


pretty simple

3/22/2009 5:37:44 PM

jagoff

3/22/2009 5:42:40 PM

3/22/2009 5:45:36 PM

Snewf you should add some pictures to your blog. it would definitely help because i remember some threads on here about some awesome recipes you add. i like seeing what a recipe looks like before cooking it if possible. maybe i'm weird like that though.

3/23/2009 12:17:05 AM

you're right - I should document my cooking with a little more detail

hopefully I'll have some time this summer to do something like that

3/23/2009 12:54:18 AM

haha i didn't mean it like that. i was more looking from the food blog perspective.

3/23/2009 12:58:02 AM

for sure - I haven't touched this blog in a while

I should take it back on though... maybe retool it a bit and add more content

I'm learning all of these media production skills so I might as well make videos of the shit
and I live with a talented photographer so I could ask him to document the cooking process

3/23/2009 1:00:11 AM

I lamed out and didn't make chili.

3/23/2009 7:55:03 AM

what a lamer

3/23/2009 8:51:21 AM

i'd link to it on my sites haha.

3/23/2009 5:37:00 PM

i like to used cubed beef and ground spicy pork in my chili

3/23/2009 5:42:46 PM

my house smells beer-y

3/29/2009 5:57:26 PM

i never make it the same way twice

3/29/2009 6:01:15 PM

same-way-of-thinking-five!


[Edited on March 29, 2009 at 6:07 PM. Reason : next go-round i'm gonna replace the beer with coca-cola and see how much i hate myself afterwards]
