Chili Recipes

[Tater]

I love chili... I know you will laugh but my kid likes Red Robin... so we go there a while back and I got a coffee and a cup of chili. I truely liked it... obviously needed some well thought out spice but had a great base and texture to start. I had a second cup... with fresh onions of course.
I was surprised by it... a very well done mild chili.

Nothing wrong with Red Robin. Didn't know they had chili, I'll have to try it.

Chili and a coffee. I like your style

I seem to change it up every time I make it.... I do follow a basic recipe like most....

Onions
Garlic
Green Peppers

Beef. Ground or shredded.
Italian sausage (usually johnsonville)

Beans. Chili, Kidney, Black, all rinsed.

I add the spices
Crushed red
Paprika
Garlic powder
Onion Powder
A little Italian seasoning
A small amount of Worsteshire

Tomatoes
Most of the time some fresh and some canned

Then I either add a little honey and cinnamon or I throw some corn in a frying pan to sear it off which adds a bit of sweetness to it.
Just enough of either to add some complexity of flavor.

Always messing with combos, family seems to like these variations the best...


When serving

I have some raw onion finely chopped, sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, dehydrated and ground up DeArbol pepper powder(hot and fantastic flavor), and garlic toast. Everyone adds what they want.

Cold front came through.

Saw a bear eating trash out of a can.

Wife got a raise.

Making chili tomorrow and eating cinnamon rolls.

Seriously though, I'm going to make some tweaks to my standard recipe. I'll post it here if it takes it up a notch. Pre-emptive **** off to @HeHateMe for my use of celery and beans.

Ok, but seriously, tomorrow I'll be making korean beef tacos for the LA vs Chicago game. I'm even planning on make a slaw to put on my taco! I have to post this in here because @HeHateMe never makes Food blog threads anymore. Thanks a lot, Obama

Korean beef tacos, is that something people in Iowa have created? How do you make a taco Korean?

Asking for my friend. Thanks

I do not know tbh. I just googled popular LA themed foods and they came up so I'm going to make them.

I'm assuming they are tacos made out of bulgogi or something similar, with Asian inspired toppings.

I need to make some chili soon. It's finally getting cold.

 

[nvanprooyen]

So here's the latest iteration. Note that I haven't eaten this yet, currently simmering, but it smells fantastic. There will likely be more tweaks to this following that. I've made the same version so many times, it was way overdue to start tweaking stuff and step up my chili game.

Also note that I loooove hot food, but I have to keep things tame enough so that everyone eats it, and kick mine up individually post cook.

With that out of the way, here is what I'm making tonight...

Ingredients:

1lb lean ground beef
1lb ground italian sausage
1lb beef cubed steak meat
1 29 oz can tomato sauce
1 full jar of Pace Picante mild
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes + green chilis
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes + garlic
1 12 oz beer
1 large onion chopped
3-4 stalks of celery chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 poblano pepper finely chopped
1lb diced tomatillos
4 tbs chili powder
1 tbs ancho chili powder
4 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 can light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Ranch beans, with sauce
1 small can of green chilies
6 cloves of fresh garlic
2 tbs Worcestershire


Instructions:

• Cut up steak stew meat into bite sized chunks, if not already prepped that way. Season generously with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Cook first in large dutch oven at high heat until browned and set aside.
• Add in ground beef and Italian sausage into pot. Cook until browned, adding fresh garlic in towards the very end. Remove from pot and drain off grease.
• Add back into dutch oven, and add everything else on this list into the pot.
• Bring up to a boil, drop heat to a low simmer, cover, cook for 1.5-2 hrs, stirring occasionally.

Also made two batches of cornbread. One regular, one jalapeno. Can't wait to destroy it.

Took a quick taste. Hotter than I thought it would be, still pretty mild on first bite, but the heat kind of builds after that. I think it's great, hopefully not too hot for everyone else. Uncovered about 1hr in so it reduces and thickens up a bit. Maybe too much liquid.

That's alot of ingredients.

I keep finding the more things I try to add to my chili recipe, the worse it tends to get.

I reverted to a simpler recipe the last couple times I made chili.

Are you going to teach us how to make a proper mole?
