Chili Recipes???

Anyone here have an incredible chili recipe? Ready to try some new ones and thought some of you gourmands might have suggestions.

Thanks!

I don't usually make it the same way twice, but:

Brown in a deep pot a pound of lean ground beef with half a finely diced onion and a couple of peeled garlic cloves. Mash up the garlic when it's cooked enough to do so. Then stir in a can or two of crushed tomatoes and a half a bottle of beer (I guess you could pour in the whole bottle, but then you don't have anything to sip on while stirring the chili). Add a 2 to 4 tablespoons of mild chili powder, a shake of powdered red pepper and a tablespoon of cumin. Some dry coriander is good too. Then add a can or two of black beans and/or pinto beans or red kidney beans. Let that simmer for a while until thickened.

Sometimes I add a small can of diced green chilis, or a can of Ro-Tel tomato sauce, in place of one of the cans of plain tomatoes.

We like our chili in deep bowls, spooned over crushed tortilla chips with shredded cheese on top.

I don't know if it's incredible, but it's pretty good Okie comfort food.

My recipe is almost identical, but I use the McCormick chilli mix (dry ingredients) in the bag and I use a can of rotel and 2 cans of tomato sauce. I also use one can each of pinto, black and kidney beans.

We put ours over Fritos with shredded cheese and sour cream..

I’ve been using these ingredients for a while and just kind of take away and add what I feel is needed. Anything with a sauce is always to taste for me. I need to sit down one day and measure everything.

Chili
2 Alarm Chili Kits (2)
Ground Beef (2lbs+)
1lb Chorizo and 1lb Ground Sausage (hot)
Chuck or Brisket (1lb)
Bacon (1lb)
Onions (3 large or 4 medium)
Green and Yellow Peppers (one each)
Garlic (8 Cloves)
Jalapenos (3)
Corn (small bag of frozen)
Kidney Beans (3 cans, different colors)
Tomato Sauce (2 X-Large Cans)
Crushed Tomatoes (3 X-Large Cans)
Diced Seasoned Tomatoes (2 normal Cans)
Tomato Paste (2 normal Cans)
Beer (12oz)
Butter
Cinnamon 1tsp
Chili Powder (to taste)
Cumin (to taste)
S&P (to taste)
Toppers
Sour Cream
Green Onion
Cheese

First I chop all the peppers, onions, and garlic. Cube and cook the steak (medium rare). Brown the beef and sausage with some of the garlic and onions, always adding S&P. Cook the bacon about half-way through then chop. Then take a stick of butter and place in the bottom of a large pot and start to slow cook the peppers, onions, and then add the chopped garlic. Once I can really smell them in the kitchen I start dumping in all the tomato sauces, beer, chili kits, cinnamon, chopped jalapenos and meat. I let all cook for a while and then come back and taste it. At this time I add whatever I feel it needs (usually more chili powder, S&P, and cumin). Once I get it to the taste I like let it cook on low heat for a couple hours. About 15-20 minutes before serving I check the taste again and if it’s fine then I add in the beans and the corn and let them heat up, trying not to stir too much to crush the beans. I love to serve chili with cornbread so I always make that alongside.

The chorizo in this got my attention. Thanks for the recipe.

Try spices from Penzey's. Good stuff. I don't really have a recipe to offer up, but I put PLENTY of hot thai peppers in mine. If I don't sweat and my lips don't get numb it is not hot enough.

I haven't made it often since my bachelor days, but this was always one of my favorite chili recipes.

1. Open Can of chili

2. Heat (or not, if you prefer)

3. Eat (spoon optional)

It's versatile too, you can change the first step slightly to make soup, spaghetti, vegetables, etc.

Something to consider now that good dried peppers are readily available - toast and grind your own to develop a chili seasoning by itself. Then you can choose how much of other seasonings to include

The reason to avoid the prepared chili powders are the extra ingredients that affect taste as you choose to adjust the # of "alarms" in your final batch. For example, if you want a spicier batch you end up getting extra salt, cumin, garlic, oregano and what not.

We've done this the past few years with better, cleaner flavor even in the nuclear options...

Mine.

Small amount of Olive oil in a big frying pan.
Crush a couple of cloves of garlick and add to the oil.
Add minced lean beef and brown off.
Work the mince so it doesn't end up in clumps.
Add 1 finely sliced onion and some sliced mushrooms.
Add 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and 1 tin of washed red kidney beans.
Mix together then add 1 beef stock cube.
Next add some Heinz Tomato sauce. Reason for this is the mix itself it a bit tart and the Heinz tomato sauce sweetens it a bit.
Finally add 1 chopped scotch bonnet chille. Or birds eye chilles chopped.
Or if your feeling rearly brave. Add 1 TEASPOON of "ghost chille" sauce.
Leave to simmer for half hour to an hour.

Finally serve with beer
