Chili

[cybergeek23851]

Hmm tis a wee bit cold outside, so what better than a pot of chili for dinner.

First, Gather your ingredients (not all are pictured):
I used 2 cans of mild chili beans, 1 small can of jalepenos, 1 lb of gorund beef, 1 lb of hot sausage, 1 small can of tomato paste, 1 small can of tomato sauce, 1 regular sized can of "Rotel", 1 package of hot chili seasoning, 1 heaping tablespoon of garlic, 1 12 oz beer of choice, 2 medium onions, 1 large bell pepper, and one large can of whole, peeled tomatoes.

Next, add your meat to a hot pan, to render and brown.

Moving forward, chop your vegetables.

After I chopped my veggies, I had a catharsis. You guys are special to me :lol: :cry:

Next, pull your meats out of the pan, and place in a crock pot, Add the cans of vegetables (rinse with a bit of the beer), the garlic, some more beer, the chili seasoning, and stir.

In the pan where you cooked the meat, add the fresh vegetables, sweat them off for a few minutes, and add the rest of the beer.

Now, once the beer reduces down to a syrupy consistency, and the veggies are tender, add to the pot, stir, and cover to cook for a few hours.

Hmm my chili is getting zesty but not too hot. I have to consider the well-being of my mom and uncle afterall.


If it were just a pot for me.......hello rolaids! :evil:

[JamesTX]

Wow that's a lot of beans in that chili.

[TC3]

[QUOTE=Chisel Tooth;102488]Don't forget the jalapenos.../QUOTE]

We use cerano peppers (or however you spell that ?) ! Nice taste along with the hot.
James, that was 2 cans o' beans (one light kidney beans, 1 chili hot beans) + 2 cans o' stewed tomatoes. Not so much beans, ey ?!?

[GASoline71]

I think my "3-bean Elk Chili" recipie is over in the old treehouse...

I'll have to go dig it out... BRB.;)

Depends on who you ask - my wife puts beans in, I don't. I also do rice more than cornbread.

[TC3]

Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot...
Plus, it's fiber... and the more full of shit you are (moi), the more you need it ! HAR !!!

Since it is gettin' colder outside I thought I would share my killer elk meat chili recipie. You say you don't have elk meat? No biggie... it works just as well with venison or plain ol' beef.

If you want this recipie in Microsoft Word format, PM me and I can email it to you.

Gary’s 3-Bean Elk Chili

2 lbs. Elk meat, cubed
1 lb. Hot/spicy sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
2 T. Vegetable oil (substitute olive oil, or bacon fat)
2-3 Stalks of celery, chopped diagonally
1 lg. Onion, chopped
1 lg. Red pepper, chopped
Water, enough to just cover veggies
1 Beer (I use a plain ol' can of MGD)
2 Cans chili beans in sauce (do not drain)
2 Cans dark red kidney beans (drained)
2 Cans black beans (drained)
2 Cans Chopped tomatoes
1 Can tomato sauce
1 Can tomato paste
4 T. Chili powder
3 Bay leaves
1 T. Cumin
1 T. Ground mustard
1 T. Seasoning salt
1½ tsp. Black pepper
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Garlic powder
½ tsp. Crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper
2-3 T. Sugar

Brown elk meat and sausage in a large skillet and set aside. Dump the oil into a 12 quart stockpot over medium-high heat, and throw in the celery, onion, and red pepper, and cook until onions are translucent (that’s “clear” to all you rednecks). Now dump enough water over the veggies to cover them and cook another 5-6 minutes (now the celery will be slightly tender). The rest is easy… just dump everything else but the sugar in the pot! Give it a good stir to combine everything, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a slow simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Give it a taste and adjust acidity with 2 or 3 T. of sugar. Then let simmer and additional 2 hours. Remember to give it a sir once in a while

Serve with chopped sweet onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and saltine crackers, and a cold brew. Enjoy!!!

rice with chilli scary

[vharrison]

It is supposed to be chilly dogs (COLD) here on Wednesday, so I have gathered all the ingredients for some Chili. I won't use any sausage, as the Haitens won't eat pork and I am planning to make enough to take to work.

Didn't JamesTX have a reciept? I looked in the Old House, but it was not there. I found Garys and here we have Jasons, mine will be a mix of them both!

Brian, if it is going to be cold here, it will be FREEZING where you are.

[Skwerl]

We're expecting our first feeze in 5 years. Can you please dish me out a bowl of that chili?
:D

[Al Smith]

Chili is some good stick to the ribs stuff during cold weather.It's not too bad during hot weather either.

Florida freeze! When I was in Key West in '67 it got down to 65 degrees,once.I looked out the window at all the people running around with jackets and giggled. I went outside and promptly returned for a jacket myself.It seems those 4 or 5 months had got me aclimatized. Would you believe it took me 4 or 5 years before I didn't freeze to death in a northern winter.

On the 12th of Jan 1968 I left Key West ,the temp was 87 degrees.When I landed in Dayton Ohio it was 12 below zero,brrr.

[sotc]

did you pick all the oranges yet?

[stehansen]

My wife made pinto beans and cornbread last night. I like to mix it all together and put a crapload of black pepper on it.

[Al Smith]

Pinto beans cooked with ham hocks with cornbread and fried potatoes is one of my favorite meals.You gotta watch those pinto's though,they seem to expand once you eat them. That extra half a bowl may give you the belly ache before the relief comes.:lol:

I was forced to log a little couch time after dinner.:)

I do the bbq - my wife does the chili. She puts in everything - black beans, corn, tomatoes, etc. She uses chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, cayenne to flavor. No recipe, just wing it. I hate to admit it, but the corn is good.

[vharrison]

It is time to start the chili. Hopefully, it will actually get cold! I made the Black Eyed Peas last night, just for tradition.

[vharrison]

Well, it is 84 degrees outside, we are wearing bathing suits and shorts headed out to fish. The chili is ready if the cold fronts gets here!! 2 pots full :)

[sotc]

its cold here, you could send it up:)

[Tom_Scheller]

I made some venison chili last eve. All the usual ingredients plus beer, dark chocolate, brown sugar and cinnamon. I learned it from Emeril.

Bam!

TS

[Skwerl]

Wow Tom, that sounds incredible! And Gigi, your chili looks fantastic as well! I might have to come get a bowl if this cold front ever shows up. Still overcast and in the 70's here.

[Paul B]

that looks and sounds delicious! we are hanging around the house today, both starting back to work tomorrow. weatherwise, overcast and about 41F, 5C or 278.15 Kelvin. :)

Little baby Jesus says that there should never be green things in your chili.

[JamesTX]

The holidays are very religious around my house -

[squisher]

Same here, rastafarian celebration yo!

[sotc]

just finished the chili from last night, all this talk made me whip up a pot of it!

[Skwerl]

I don't cook much but with this cold weather I may go up to Steak and Shake and get a big bowl of chili for dinner. :D

[Skwerl]

OK, I'm back. The chili was great, although I had to send it back the first time because it was only 2/3 full and 'wimpy'. When the nice waitress brought it back it was filled to the brim and loaded with meat and beans. :P

A couple years ago I used to hate sitting next to kids in a restaurant, but I must be getting soft. A young lady and her daughter were at the next booth and the little girl reminded me so much of Peapod. :D Same long brown hair with bangs, and her voice sounded just like Peapod on John's videos. I was laughing and smiling all through dinner. :) Mom was cute as well.

[MasterBlaster]

Send it back??? Man, you must be crazy - you NEVER do that.

I wonder what else they added to it? :/:

[Che]

Chili tonight here, also. I usually cook it overnight in the crockpot, then put it outside in the cold the next morning......reheated that evening. Seems to always taste better that way. Rice and cornbread. mmmmMMMMmmmm

Had to use store bought tomatoes for the first time ever. bummer.

Gary, I'll be trying your recipe next. There's venison in the freezer, sounds like a good recipe for it. Thanks for finding/posting it, Cyber!

You LUCKY dog! We love Steak and Shake! We will stop on our way up through Florida just to have a burger and fries, even if it is 9 in the morning! I love those fries!!

I hope you like it che! I am going to make a batch of it on Sunday myself.

I have actually won chili cookoffs with it. :)

[MasterBlaster]

And maybe a nice, thick, gooey loogie. There's a 10 page thread going on at another forum titled "I Work In A Restaurant" and you wouldn't believe the stuff they say, especially about those people who send food back. It's like a personal affront against the employees and a lot of the time they exact their revenge.

[sotc]

i dont want to read stuff like that or id never eat out. lugy burgers taste good when you dont know!

[Paul B]

:barf: reminds me of a scene in a movie called road trip.... dont order the french toast.

[GASoline71]

No matter how incompetent the drive through guy is... don't piss him off.

Gary

[MasterBlaster]

Him, or your barber.

[GASoline71]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Gary

[Skwerl]

The lugie chili was great! :lol: I didn't taste it and I didn't get sick, so it doesn't matter to me. I do agree with the concept though, and rarely send anything back. But I was really in the mood for a good bowl of chili and the thin, watery bowl they brought out first just wasn't gonna cut it. My only other option was to walk out and go somewhere else. So I was polite and the waitress was nice and it worked out.

BBQ pork sammich, beans, fries and a side of brunswick stew tonight. :thumbup:

[MasterBlaster]

Albacore tuna here, like most every night.

[Paul B]

squash soup and perogies here. :)
oops, wrong thread.
