Sounds damn good.
Came out really good!

One change I think I'll make - not put the steak cubes in until towards the end. After browning them, they were pretty much medium rare. After cooking that long the texture turned into pot roast. Still good, but I think having them not broken down as much would be better. Brown in a seperate pan, and then drop them in after I move from simmer to warm on the chili.

I think most of us have a similar starting point for our chili. I don't see a lot in there that's all too different. However, I always throw in a block of Abuleta and can or two of beer. I promise your chili won't come out tasting like chocolate but it will have a deeper and richer flavor than you've ever had before.

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

Dude my mole is trash. I need to work on it before I teach anyone. I'll stick to the Dona Maria pre-made mole for the time being.

This is a good idea, I wish I would have thought of it years ago. If you do this before I get around to making chili again post an update.

So I used to like this Chili-Mac recipe my Grams used to make when I was younger.... she sometimes made a batch and sent it to me in College.

Its kinda plain and simple, so I have been trying to tweak it.

Here it is:

1 lb Ground Beef (I do 80/20)

Brown Ground Beef (I season it with Chili powder, Paprika, Garlic salt, Onion Powder)

Drop the browned Ground Beef into a pot.

Add 2 cans of Tomato soup, 1.5 cans of water (I add more Chili powder and whatnot to the base)

Simmer for 30 mins

Add 1 can of Chili beans and 1 can of water and 1/2 cup of Macaroni noodles

Bring to boil, let it simmer for 30 mins.

Done.... I like to put some shredded cheese on top.

I made it with hot Chili beans this last time and I like the little bit of heat they add.

Any of you got suggestions of how I can modify or add to the recipe to make it better? Otherwise if you got your own Chili recipe to share :D

Chili protip.

U like chili dogs? Have an immersion blender. Turn your chili into a condiment!

Fine to me... since you do it at the end, the chili is done when the noodles are as done as you like.
