Chili, one of my many favorites

[johnr]

Anyone ever put raw onion, shredded cheese, and crumbled up Fritoes corn chips on top of their bowl of chili?:;:thumbsup :;:rockit

Yes, its hard to read all this and not act pavlovian

That recipe looks amazing, Ristorapper! Have you tried it without the cabbage?

Cabbage is for cabbage lovers. my wife loves cooked cabbage so we just tossed it in there one day and it has stayed. It adds no flavor so to speak, so yes! The original recipe and for many years we ate it without cabbage but not anymore.

Sounds good. Like I say, I add cheetos and cheese!! and have used taco chips and dipped the chili out of the bowl with it.

I defile chili w raw onions, cheese, sour cream, and gasp... Crackers or corn chips.

we almost always make corn bread w chili - i just drop a chunk right in the bowl

Variety of beans
1lb hamburger
taco seasoning
brown sugar
tomato sauce
tomato paste
diced tomatoes
peppers
variety of seasoning

brown hamburger and season with pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper. Mix in taco seasoning and water. Wait for it to cook down. While that's going on, add variety of beans, tomato ingredients, brown sugar, jalapeños, bell peppers all in a large pot. Add meat once it cooks down. Let simmer for a few hours. I usually add sour cream and shredded cheese. My wife makes an awesome corn bread that goes great with it.

I just made made this on Saturday. I apologize to all the Bismarck residents that were downtown Saturday night. Crop dust.

Yeah, thanks for warning me. I could have shut my windows.

How many pairs of skivvies did this cost you again? Was it 2? 2.5?

Well I had the misfortune of having the death farts at the concert sunday night, well I should say the people around me had the misfortune. This time no chili was needed, and I may be in need of a new wife, as she was on the verge of leaving me in the distress of my own stank, but gladly she let me into the vehicle for the journey home, with the window down, and fan blowing my direction, and a clothes pin on her nose.

Notice I didn't use quotes. You get the gist...

Just one. inside out and backwards by the end of it.

Here is the list of ingredients to make two large dutch ovens full. We make chili every year for our annual trail ride and keep getting asked back by popular demand. Make it over an open fire. (coals) Have won a few contests with it. Kinda hot but the sweet from the brown sugar tempers the heat so it is not over powering.

4 small cans Mushrooms chopped up (drain off the juice)
12 cans Busch chili beans
2 large cans Busch Maple flavor beans (purple label)
2 large cans onion Busch beans (green label)
6 cans Busch chili starter Mild or spicy
3 small cans Hunts tomato sauce
5 small cans diced Jalepenos (I usually use the wifes fresh from the garden)
18 small cans Rotella diced tomatos and green chiles mild or spicy
Liquid smoke to taste, usually two table spoons
Brown sugar 1/ 3 - 1/2 lbs
one bottle Tobasco
couple table spoons chili powder (to taste)
1 1/4 cup Miracle Whip.
1 large wallawalla sweet onion chopped fine
14 lbs hamburger
4 lbs lamb burger (can use all beef)
Season hamburger with Lawrys Seasonal and liquid smoke and cook the peppers, onion and mushrooms with the burger.

We mix everything together the day before , refrigerate and let simmer over coals for 4-5 hours the next day before serving
GOOD hamburger is important, we use ours we butcher.

Have made a few smaller batches with the wifes ghost and habenaro peppers for the guys that claim they like it hot......baby wipes are handy.

Sounds like a great recipe to feed the masses! But I don't understand the miracle whip? :;:huh

ditto!

The Miracle Whip is used instead of vinegar. It adds a distinct flavor you notice when it is missing.

I think the two dutch ovens I use are 27 quart ones. So it does feed a few.

The last couple years the local fire depts have also brought oven roasters of their varieties of chili and we have a guy that does stew some times Jambalya.

And this year a friend hooked up a 8 gallon ice cream maker to a JD stationary engine on a trailer for desert.

have fed any wheres from 180 to 400 people.

 

[BBQBluesMan]

Hmmm. Interesting. Will give that recipe a try if/when I need to feed a small army!

You guys pretty much have it covered. And GWF's quote below is spot on.

Yes - and once in a while you arrive at that magical "OMG... this is IT, perfect chili" - and you either can't recall exactly what you did - and even if you do, it doesn't taste the same the next time around when you try to recreate it ;:;banghead

 

[JayKay]

Have a great recipe for jambalaya, if anyone's interested. Not chili, but a hearty savory stew-ish concoction. Lotta chopping, but that's often a hallmark of a great dish.

Jambalaya takes some time to perfect (as with chili), but I think I've got it figured out. It is a pain in the ass to make though. Too much time in front of the cutting board.
