Beef, a few different beans and some sort of pepper.

A few hours.

I really like spicy shit so if anyone has suggestions on making spicy chili I'd like to hear them.

>What do you use in your chili?

Ground beef

Kidney beans

Onions

Crushed tomatoes

Garlic

Cumin

Rosemary

Thyme

Sriracha

Salt & pepper

Some times I'll add mushrooms, depending on the mood

>How long do you cook? Cool? Reheat it?

In total I cook my chili for maybe 40-50 minutes.

>How spicy do you like it?

Very, and served with a big spoonful of creme fraiche

I made a batch today and let it simmer for 3 hours I still stole a few bowls from it. it's in the fridge right now cooling down. I'll either reheat it after it's been cold for a few hours or tomorrow if I pass out. Will report results.

Actually remembered I have lots of ground beef in the freezer, time to thaw that shit

>>6399

Fell asleep heated it back up this morning and let it simmer again. Let it cool again. So Good.

>>6416

Get on that I need to stock up on ground beef since it only cost me 5 dollars to make a weeks worth of chili.

>>6396

Paprika isnt hot though

>>6433

Depends on the paprika.

1.5 pounds of ground beef

1 large white onion, diced

5 cloves of garlic, minced

like 6 of those mini bell peppers, diced

2 jalapeno's, 1 fresno, diced

4 medium tomatos diced.

large can of tomato sauce

enough stock to fill the rest of a 6 quart pot, half chicken, half beef.

cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, cayanne, 2 bay leaves.

Roast peppers and tomatoes.

Salt and pepper beef. Cook in pot.

Remove beef, and excess fat if it's pooling.(there should still be some left.)

Throw in onions, and peppers.

Cook until soft.

Throw in minced garlic.

Cook for like 2 more minutes.

Add in cooked beef, tomatos, tomato sauce, bay leaves, and stock.

Simmer until proper consistency (like 5-6 hours)

Add in rest of the spices, and taste and adjust.

Cook for another 30 minutes for good measure.

Serve.

I don't do beans because they seem to only exist to make the pot bigger, while diluting the flavor. If I want chili, I want a nice hearty bowl.

>>6396

that looks super tasty anon, mind sharing the full recipe?

>>6471

cinnamon and cocoa? are those necessary? can you actually taste them? never heard of those being used in a chili before. thanks for sharing!

>>6477

Different poster but I use cinnamon in my chili it adds a great flavor to the ,ix.

>>6477

Yes, don't be afraid to use them! I too was a little bit skeptical of the cocoa powder but it really did add a hint of an extra layer of flavour that didn't overpower the dish at all. So yeah, give it a try!

>>6477

You never heard of mole sauce?

>>6487

Can't say that I have

>>6387

I dunno what my boss puts into it (aside from him saying "four pounds of meat"), but he asked me for a half-dozen ghost chilies. He usually brings in a ridiculous heap of chili made with the chilies, along with cornbread bags of shredded cheese to go with everything.

>>6490

It's savory, chocolate, and chili all together.

It's a thing. Chocolate (or cocoa) can enhance the savory.

>>6494

Interesting. I'll have to read up on it some

>>6494

That sounds strange, it must be some aztec thing.

As long as still beating virgin hearts aren't used, I guess I'll give it a taste.

>cubed beef chuck

>diced onion

>lots of finely chopped garlic

>dried chili peppers - about two-thirds chipotle and ancho, the rest whatever else I feel like adding

>beer

>a little freshly brewed black coffee

>coriander seed

>cumin

>dried oregano

>lime juice

>a little honey

>a little hot sauce

>cornmeal

>salt

Deseed, toast, soak, and blend the chilies. Brown the beef in a big pot, remove. Sauté the onion, add the garlic. Add the beef back, deglaze with the beer, add all the other ingredients except for the cornmeal. Simmer for several hours until the beef is tender, tasting and adjusting seasoning as you go. Add a little cornmeal to thicken the sauce, cook for another half hour or so with the lid off the pot. Serve topped with cheese, diced onion, cilantro, and with a chunk of cornbread on the side.

This is mostly based on a recipe from the Homesick Texan: http://www.homesicktexan.com/2009/02/more-precise-texas-chili-recipe.html. Sometimes I will add other stuff, bell peppers, beans, etc.

>>6477

Ya it makes a much richer chilli cant reall tell there in there but really adds alot if richness sorry if i dound like a retard have been drinking anyway i think in going to make this tomorow

>beans

>>7221

There's a difference between Texas-Style Chili and Chili con Carne. At least I think that's what separates the two dishes.

>>7256

>It's like he can't into cowboy chili history. He thinks they just rode around in the desert or the plains for days with raw beef in their saddles and no refrigeration.

==cowboys

cow - boys==

they herded cattle

when one died or got too injured to continue the muster they became fresh beef.

>>7273

damn redtext error

>>7273

>cow - boys

>they herded cattle

I thought they got milked.

>>7273

Do you know how much a cow typically weighs? That'd be a metric ton of chilli from one cow.

They

>>7281

They did cattle drives that took weeks. The whole point was to have no cattle die on those runs. They wouldn't slaughter one each time they went. They ate a primarily bean based chili.

>>6387

Anyone have any experience with chili sesame oil? Got a good and cheap brand to recommend?

>>7949

I find corn in chili to be entirely unnecessary, and personally, I find it lowers the overall quality.

>>7949

It doesn't look wet enough imo. I will try it ouy though, I've never had turkey chili.

>>7957

if you want to make it taste "beefier" drop the corn, saute some shrooms and add Worcestershire sauce. Maybe add beef stock/bullion if you have it.

>>7254

i used your recipe, it tastes great

thanks anon!

I found blood in my poo today, I blame the chili.

>>6387

in b4 no beans

oh wait…

>>8015

you have ass cancer, anon

>>8015

Try to see a doctor. Could be serious, like an ulcer or something.

chuck beef cut into cubes

chillies deseeded

brown ale

brown onion

garlic

chopped tomatoes

tomato paste

dark chocolate

cayenne powder

paprika

cumin

chili flakes

allspice

cinammon

brown beef cubes in crockpot

remove and set aside to keep warm

brown chili, onion, garlic and spices for a couple minutes

deglaze the pot with beer

return beef, add paste and tomatoes

bring to boil

simmer for several hours covered

stir in chocolate a few min before serving

there is literally nothing wrong with beans in chilli

>>8465

>quarter of rum

I'm probably not as bad as some of the alcoholi/ck/s here, but even I think that's a lot, anon.

Did it at least taste good?

>>8490

It tastes like death and disease had a baby when cold. Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good when hot. I would probably go a bit lighter on the spices next time, but the rum gives it a bit of sweetness I didn't expect to work with chili.

>>8498

Well, that's going to be my tomorrow.

>>6387

I'm going to use chickpeas instead of kidney beans. Fuck ya'll niggas gonna be wile'n.

Anybody that uses salt in mourning to noon chili deserves the sodium poisoning.

>>6387

On the last day of high school for my senior English class my teacher made three different kinds of chili. Two of which were special - one made with elk meat and the other with ghost chili sauce.

Loved the shit outta the ghost chili, but after trying homemade chili made with elk meat, I wish I tried elk meat chili back then…

>>8485

good recipe, i've used this post multiple times

>>9011

i like it in a tortilla with some spreadable cheese:

1 cup grated cheddar

100g cream cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cayenne (long red) chilli seeded and finely diced

2 jalapenos seeded and finely diced

few shakes of onion and garlic powder

blend together until combined

a little paprika and cayenne powder might be good too. i usually use some kind of chilli flavoured mayo. i also now fry some diced bacon until crispy, drain on paper towel, and add to the cheese mix as well, then add a little of the bacon grease to the chilli while it simmers.

the chilli recipe was from Man Food by Billy Law, if youre interested.

>>9019

At least the posts here are 10/10 quality. I only check in once a day, but I usually pick something up or get some new cooking ideas.

I like to a can of chipotles in adobo sauce to chili.

>beans

am i a pleb for not liking beans? i've only made chili for hot dogs

>>9055

Personally if I'm using chili as a topping/condiment it's always meat only. If it's the main dish I always put beans in it.

>>9055

The whole beans controversy is retarded memery carried over from generations past. Texas and Mexico are not the end-all be-all authorities on a centuries-old Spanish dish. Those two places are the pretty much the quintessential culinary bastards of the Americas. Neither one is unique in any way. Sorry, Mexico. You're not special.

Personally, I like to have two or three different types of beans in my chili (mainly pinto and red kidney). It greatly helps the flavor and texture. The kind of retards who say beans don't belong in chili are the type of tards who would say that sausage and pork chops don't belong in meatball pasta.

>>9058

I say chili shouldn't have beans because I don't think anything should have beans and I fucking hate legumes as a whole.

Fuck you.
