chiefs suck, I ruined my chili with too much cinnamon

[mikeyis4dcats.]

now what?

[LaChapelle]

I thought cocoa went in chili

[bowener]

spray hot cinnamon scented shit tomorrow?

[Fire Me Boy!]

How much did you put in?

[headsnap]

throw it on some noodles and put a pile of cheese on top and call it a 3 Way...

[mikeyis4dcats.]

How much did you put in?

undetermined, beyond "too much".

I was stirring it and the lid popped off.

I figured with 3 pounds of beef, it would be edible, but it isn't.

My guess....1-1.5 tablespoon or so.

[cabletech94]

drink some more beer my friend.
beer fixes everything.

and palko FTW!!!!!

[threebag]

Make cinnamon rolls and eat with your chili

[memyselfI]

I did that. I put mustard in and that seemed to temper the cinnamon.

:eek:

Anywhere near that much is way, way, way too much. Sorry.

My chili (which kicks ass, IIDSSM) uses about 2 pounds of meat and I never use more than about 1/4 teaspoon. You used 12X that much.

Truly not trying to rub salt in the wound, but generally it's a good idea to not go directly from spice jar to pot. Always use your hand or a spoon or something to "measure".

[Chiefs Rool]

just add Sriacha to it, it'll fix it.

[Chiefs Rool]

I made some "chili," but not technically chili, more like goulash or something. Whatever, it was good eats.

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 big can of black beans
1 big can of pinto beans
2 big cans of crushed tomatoes
1 small can of diced tomatoes
2 cans of corn
1 diced onion
5 cloves of garlic
1/3 of a bottle of sriacha
5 diced jalepenos
2 bottles of IPA beer
a bunch of paprika and black pepper

cooked on low for about 3 hours on the stovetop in a huge ass pot

topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream and some tortilla chips to dip with

easy and delicous!

yeah, normally I would at least not be stirring it today, but I was running behind after braving ToysRUs shopping before the game.

Bah, had to toss it. Leasson learned. My tongue will never forgive me though.

[bevischief]

Lots of hot sauce.

[Rain Man]

Mustard needs more carries.

[Gonzo]

Anyone else put vinegar in chili? My old man showed me that when I was a kid. Absolutely delicious.
I think it was a St. Joe thing.

Sorry Gonzo, vinegar is disgusting. As a toddler, my mom used to put it on my back when I had a sunburn and pretty much since then, I gag at the smell.

Dumb question but why cinnamon? I prefer spicier more flavorful chili, What does the cinnamon "balance out"?

Tip: Always measure ingredients away from the pan or pot. You'll avoid many a disaster that way.

Sorry, Dude.

I thought the same thing before I tried it. It does something chemically to make traditional Chili taste awesome.

Now then Cinnamon is something I've never heard of either.

Speaking of weird shit like that. I saw this dude at my work put that hot sauce with the wooden cap, (Chuhola or something?) On watermelon. I shit you not. He said it makes watermelon turn super sweet basically. I've been wanting to try it.

Cinnamon in Chili doesn't sound good to me, but I suppose it's not really supposed to lend it's true cinnamon flavor.....vinegar sounds interesting? I suppose it could help break down the meat more to get more flavor from it? Not sure, but I'd try that before the cinnamon thing.

[Ming the Merciless]

moar beans!! just put in a bunch more beans and meat and simmer a bit more...and onions

[ClevelandBronco]

Dude, you ruined your chili with any cinnamon.

[Rausch]

I took a vacation day because of the early Raider game and late KC game.

Made some awesome chili. Added some schredded roast to it with 3 peppers and.....fuck....it was good.

Then the pinnacle of the day concluded with us getting face raped.

So I ask you: whut the fuck am I to do with tasty face rape chili? What?

There's no way to eat that without showering with a damned brillo pad afterwards...

[DaneMcCloud]

That's what I thought.

Chili done right rules.

Cinnamon is for buns.

Strippers and cinnamon rolls.

[TimeForWasp]

just add 1 1/2 cups of antifreeze

Now that you mention it, according to my mother there's a place in Omaha that serves southern food and their 2 main dishes are Chicken and Waffles and Chili on Cinnamon rolls. There must be something to it.

Who here hasn't met a stripper named Cinnamon?

[chasedude]

Ah I get it, it's a metaphor.

Too much Cinnamon is Brodie, and the Chili base is the rest of the team!

Both together it leaves a weird taste in your mouth?

You know now that you mention it and provided the link, we have a place called Hard Times Cafe and they serve a Cinncinnati style chile and damned if cinnamon isn't the flavor I didn't care for in that chili. All about region I guess...I was excited to try the Cinncinnati style chili and was disappointed to say the least.

Never met a Cinnamon, but I met one once that had my name tattooed on her boob (at my bachelor party)....thought it was a pretty good reason to have a private dance!

[TinyEvel]

questions...

1) Did the chili come out of your pocket

and

2) Did it take 18th place out of 19 entries?

(bonus points if you know what I'm referring to)

LOL no. My buddy was Jonesing to find a strip joint in SD and I was having nothing of it. MAybe it was the crushing loss, or maybe I was too drunnk, or maybe it's because I HATE PAYING $100 TO A GIRL FOR NOTHING!!!!!

NEVER pay for strippers, Dude.

You have to make them feel like they're doing YOU a favor.

I'll show you how it works sometime.

Sorry, Dude.

Vinegar is an absolute must ingredient in chili. I've used it ever since I saw a Paula Dean episode years ago. I have friends ask all the time what is in it that zings it up so well, and it is simply about a quarter cup of vinegar for a large pot (6 quarts or so) of chili. Also, cinnimon has no place in chili if you ask me.

Sorry, Dude.

You can't taste the cinnamon, but it gives a background note that's hard to define. It's an "it" ingredient that a lot of people will go, "Damn, that's really good. What's in it?"

My chili has quite a bit of spice and flavor. The cinnamon just adds a depth of flavor.

[Fire Me Boy!]

That's why I had the word in quotes. I don't measure, but I use the palm of my hand to eyeball it. One, so I have an idea of how much I'm putting in. Two, so I don't accidentally dump a half a jar of cinnamon in my chili.

You certainly don't see Bobby Flay or Gordon Ramsay or any other professional chef going straight from jar to pot.

Care to share your recipe FMB?

Care to share your recipe FMB?

The first time I make a recipe, I make it as instructed. If I like it, I'll keep using it as a base, but make my own modifications as I go. My recipe is barely recognizable next to this one now, but this is where it started. It was also my first experience with cinnamon in chili.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/venison-chili-recipe/index.html

[lcarus]

I was talking with my buddy at work today about chili recipes, and was telling him that my old teacher in high school swore up and down that cinnamon adds a lot of spice to chili. He didn't believe me and we were wondering just how much cinnamon to add to chili. So I googled "how much cinnamon to put in chili" and I'll be god damned if this thread didn't pop up in the first few results.

[ModSocks]

I've never actually tried it, but it makes sense to me. Cinnamon is a spice after all, and it is spicy.

Chili with cinnamon is like a call girl with a vestigial testicle. It's just wrong, man.

If you want to spice up your chili throw some curry in there.

[cdcox]

I put a little cinnamon in the batch of chili I am making today. I'm glad FMB! said 1/4 tsp, because I would have way over done it otherwise. I couldn't imagine that such a little amount could be detected in a big pot of chili. I can't taste it but the odor is definitely noticeable. I'll see if the wife notices it, and whether she likes it or not.

[bevischief]

My beans are saved even after spending 3 hours in the walk out clinic. Not me my wife.

The cinnamon should give it just a hint of sweetness, in addition to the aroma. Kicks ass, don't it? :thumb:

Yes, I noticed the sweetness. It's just a tiny bit different. More complex flavor profile. I'll have to see if I miss it when I make the next batch (I taste it about 10 times while it is cooking).

My wife said the chili was good, but she didn't notice the cinnamon.

Excellent. That's what I meant earlier when I said it gives it an "it" factor. You shouldn't be able to easily tell it's cinnamon.

[NewChief]

Since we're talking surprising uses of cinnamon: throw it in marinara sauce from time to time.

I use 1/4 tsp. for my batch, which is like 5-6 quarts. A full teaspoon is a ton.

[mlyonsd]

I've found dark molasses to be a great addition to my chili. About a tablespoon per crock.
