Who has a good chilli recipe?

As the title states, who here has a good chilli recipe? The current recipe I have works. But it's pretty basic, with tons of canned beans, pre packaged chilli mix, etc.

So if you've got a good homemade chilli recipe, post it up!

 

Mmmm

this should be good.
Side note, I cut up linked sausage in mine but mine is pretty basic

 

Do you have a smoker?

 

I have a whole cookbook on chili recipes but this one was my favorite

 

I have a Pitboss pellet grill with a smoke setting

 

Oh yeahhhhhh I'm gonna be trying this out!! Thank you very much!

 

Have you tried the “Over the Top” chili that was going around the web last fall? I didn’t get to try it so can’t say it’s good for sure…but hard to believe it wouldn’t be.

edit: just an example

That sounds amazing!!

 

I use seasoned (McCormick steak seasoning overnight) flank steak grilled. Then cut it into small bite size pieces. Usually two or more cuts depending on how meaty you want it. Then chicken or beef broth 1 box. Then mixed chili beans (hot) and light red kidney beans. I season with mrs dash and McCormicks chili seasoning. One small can of unsalted tomato sauce. Then put the crockpot on high for several hours then turn to low for a few more hours. These tenderizes the meat so it almost disappears.

 

@TaquitoBandito probably has a good chili recipe. Most the food he shares looks awesome

 

This is my all time favorite so far. Lots of ingredients involved, but well worth it.




Stole the recipe from this guy on YouTube.

Yall are awesome! Keep 'em comin!

 

Ive never made the same chili twice. But i kinda make 3 chilis at once. Like the first is extra fatty ground beef, tomatoes, and carmelized onions. then cubed steak, sauteed peppers and veggies, and a spice dump. then special meat like brisket or elk, spices, and some brown sugar. Sometimes half a bottle of shiner…

and i serve beans, cheese, and fritos seperate.

 

Here is a pretty simple one but suprisingly delicious. I double up the meat and serve with frito scoops

2. Rince steak under tap water and dry.
   
   
3. Let steak sit out at room temp for about an hour.
   
   
4. Make sure steak is dry (I use a kitchen towel)
   
   
5. Use glove or suffer - Coat one side of steak with a heavy amount of chili powder and rub in. Coat the other side with cayenne pepper and rub
   
   
6. Grill over flame until Medium rare or Medium (don’t cook over Medium well)

1. Brown beef and add some chili powder and cayenne pepper.
   

Take all the Tomatoes, Meat, onions, jalapenos and chocolate and mix together.


cook for at least 4 to 6 hours in crock pot or dutch oven at a low to medium heat 4 to 6 hours stirring about every 45 minutes.


Rinse beans in colander and add to chili cook for another 15 to 30 minutes

 

Chocolate?

 

I do - I won the first Centex AMVETS Chili cook off with it. It has beans and prepackaged chili mix though... but it's super easy and tastes amazing.

2 pounds ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
1 packet Williams chili seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans

For the salsa, I use Pace Picante and I also blend it in a blender. You can alter the heat this way (Mild, Medium, Hot)

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired.

Add the ground black pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, salsa, chili seasoning mix and kidney beans. Mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour.

 

Hint: plenty of pureed veg all or other canned mixed vegetables along with a 46 oz can of V8 juice gives a good chili some healthy goodness and if you get a good ratio mixed it gives good texture and cosistency. Every smart Tundra guy likes his V8!

 

Sounds good but only chili powder to this chili.

Red chile pods soaked in water blend to sauce add garlic until taste buds explode.

 

I guess I have to start the shit stirring... Oh well.
Chili doesn't have beans in it, that is true chili.

 

Different regions of the U.S. have different ways to make chili, so you are technically correct, but chili without beans, is just basically eating a meat sauce, which is totally fine also, if you like that.

 

Very tasty hearty meat sauce with vegetables and a sleeve of saltines keeps me well nourished and I don't get kicked to the couch.

 

Go online and look up Jimmy Fallon's chili recipe, it's amazing. I cook it every year for super bowl..

 

Chili is easy. You really don't need a recipe and can make the shit up as you go.

Hot tips; Add 6 oz strong coffee, a few chunks of chocolate, and fresh grind your "chili" and other spices, don't use that pre-ground shit in a plastic can. Toast your peppercorns before grinding.

If you want a challenge, go shoot an elk. Too much of a challenge? Use beef... but make osso bucco out of the shanks. Best meal I have ever had and it amounts to hot meat in warm red sauce which is essentially chili.

 

Lots of good ideas on here, just pick your favorite from one or a blend of these recipes. One thing we’ve started doing, take the meat (we use venison and medium hot sausage) mix together and make a big patty. Put it on the smoker along with the vegetables, smoke until done and then add too the chili mixings.
Adds a next level taste too your chili.

 

Wow, that does sound amazing.

 

This is the best chili mix I’ve found by far. I haven’t done better with another brand nor making my own.

I tried it a year or so ago. I screwed something up, because it was terrible.

 

On who’s authority?

 

The wife and I make a couple gallons at a time. Divvy it up into containers and put it in the freezer for future meals. Just pulled one out Tuesday, polished it off yesterday lol As good as it was when it went in the freezer.
