Chili Recipe?

I was voluntold to prepare chili for my programs chili cook-off on 30 October.
:ohwell:

I make chili, but I wanted to try something different. There are a lot of recipes online, but I want first-hand experience of good recipes. :biggrin:

I'm talking to you, Vrai, Bay Kat, and Badgirl. :coffee:


and anyone else willing to help. :smile:

:lol: BG is the chili cook-off Queen. :notworthy:

Whenever I make chili, I just throw stuff together, taste and there ya go. I don't think I actually have a real recipe anymore, though I am sure I started out with one.

Same here, I have three types and methods of cooking it, but no actual recipe. Ok, not true I have a notebook full of them I just don't use them anymore.

I will try to relay my "recipe" as best I can.

3 lbs ground beef
1 large sweet onion
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 orange pepper
2 jalapenos
2 cans Rotel
1 small can tomato paste
2 cans black beans (optional)
W-sauce
1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 can beef broth
salt to taste

  • Brown ground beef and chopped onion a large soup pot
  • Drain fat and add a bunch of shakes of W-sauce, maybe 1/8 cup or so, and broth to beef.
  • Cover and simmer for 30 mins.
  • Seed and chop peppers and add them to the pot, along with chipotle and paprika.
  • Cover and simmer for 30 mins.
  • Add Rotel, tomato paste and beans, taste for seasoning and add a pinch of salt if needed, then simmer for 1 hour or until you can't stand it anymore and must eat.

Adjusting your heat:
For hotter, get Hot Rotel or add more jalapenos.
For milder, omit jalapenos altogether.

Here ya' go. :yay:

But for the love of all that I hold dearly, be sure to use good chili powder, and not some of that cheap crap that is $1.00 a bottle. I use Penzy's spices in most of my cooking, because they taste, look, and smell vibrant and delicious. The detail to fresh ingredients is paramount to a good cook.



BadGirl Chili Recipe

This is a hit whenever I make it. Try it....you'll like it.

3 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 lb hot Italian sausage
1 28-oz can diced tomatoes
2 1-lb cans tomato sauce
3-4 large onions, chopped
2 large green peppers, diced
5-6 small jalapeno peppers,minced (if you want milder chili, remove seeds before dicing)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup chili powder
2 Tbl sugar
1 1/2 Tbl salt
4 lbs canned red-skinned kidney beans, drained

Brown the diced beef chuck and Italian sausage, and drain. Put all ingredients (except kidney beans) in large pot and cook for an hour or two or three, or until the beef chuck becomes really tender. I usually cook it for three-four hours. Once done, add the drained kidney beans and heat through. Serve.

As with all chili, this is best made a day or two before it is to be served as to allow the flavors to marry well together.

Yum.

Finally a recipe with no ground beef! I hate ground beef in my chili.

Ya' know....I'm also going to make a plug for a friend of mine who makes a truly wonderful spice blend for chili.

Try Trevor Bothwell's "Stiff Willi Chili" mix. It is sold locally at McKay's, at Smokey Joe's, and a few other places. Check out their facebook page, too: Log In | Facebook . Trevor was a winning entry in the DC101 Chili Cook-Off a few years ago, and the recipe on the back of the spice label is what he uses - it is DELICIOUS!

I will try this recipe because I love the name. I wish I'd have had it this weekend, I just made a huge crock pot of chili on Sunday and my husband will feast on it for at least a week. :buddies:

This is mine. I do not use an exact recipe. It comes out differently each time depending on my tastebuds as I'm making it. I do not add onions or peppers to mine because I can't get the kids to eat it if I do.

I primarily use 1 big can of dark kidney beans, 1 big can of light kidney beans, 2 cans of chili beans, 2 cans of baked beans, Chili-O seasoning, 2 tablespoons or so of sweet chili sauce, chili powder, a little sea salt, a little pepper, 1 can of stewed tomatoes, 1 or 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes (depending on who I'm serving), and 2 pounds of ground beef or venison.
