That's A LOT of chili !

Good thing leftover chili is better than fresh!

okay, here is a rough draft of ingredients i use. notice i did not say measurements.

minced beef, minced chorizo, any kind of steak cubes. (add some sausage links cut up too if you like.)
onion, garlic, (fire roasted, green or yellow, or all) capsicum, crushed tomatoes (drained).

i cheat and use spice packs, plus my own herbs.

chili con carne packs
smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, brown sugar, sugar, and sage.

sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce , mustard, tomato paste, worcestershire, molasses, any kind of beer.

mexican chili beans

kidney beans (drained).

simmer for four hours/slow cooker for 8

serve in bowl with corn chips, shredded cheese and sour cream.

:D

I grew up with beans in the chili. Never was crazy about it. Moved to Texas. HATE beans in my chili now that I've had a proper Texas chili. My wife's recipe is life-changing, I've heard:

1. Roast 2 green peppers and 1 habenero pepper (or ananheim) and 5-6 garlic cloves in the oven for about 1/2 an hour.

2. Cook 5-6 strips of bacon in a big pot, removing bacon and crumbling when done.

3. Dice a sirloin steak & cook in the bacon grease. Remove and wrap it in tinfoil.

4. Dice an onion or two and cook in the same pot (with some olive oil), add 1-2 lbs ground beef to brown.

5. Once meat is brown, add Shiner Bock (take another Shiner and drink it)

6. Add can of rotel, 2-3 cans roasted tomatoes and 2 pkgs of chili seasoning.

7. After peppers cool, peel the skins and dice these. The garlic is usually gooey. Smash it and add that in too.

8. Salt and pepper everything as desired and simmer for as long as you'd like.

9. Add the steak and bacon in 15 min before serving.

you are a mean individual. touting your ability to drink my favorite beer evar, when i cannot have one here. a carton would cost me 85 bucks to import.

So does Steak and Shake. The Cincinnati Chili has to have cinnamon in it. I first tried it years and years ago (Gold Star Chili and Skyline Chili) and I thought it was the nastiest crap I had ever eaten....took a while, but I actually acquired a taste for the nastiness.. :)

LOTS more to Cincy chili than cinnamon. Typically allspice, cloves, and chocolate, too. A little cinnamon in a traditional chili can be outstanding, as long as it's just a hint. Allspice, cloves, especially can **** off in chili.

chili powder: anyone got a recipe? cant get it here. i can buy 'chili powder' but its straight hot ground chili peppers, not the mix of herbs that make 'chili powder' :D

Do you have access to dried chiles?

Google Alton Brown chili powder. Best I've ever made or had.

Use Ritz FMB

Meat beans chili powder cheese and a bit of sweetness. All u need.

i do, and i will. now to be frank, i have made some chili powder from some oline recipes, just was wondering if the cp crowd had any of their own.

Deer meat chili

no deer here dear. :D hmmm, roo chili? ill have to check.

I don't bother with others anymore. AB's blend is excellent.
