Chili recipe?

Question

Im making chili for dinner and i put ground beef, kidney beans, onions, tomatoes, and brown suger, i still have the beef boulion and the water and the chili seasoning to put in, What i want to know is if i put sweet kernel corn in does that sound like a good idea?

Answer 1

go ahead and put the corn in. I would also skip the kidney beans and use pinto beans and black beans instead.

Answer 2

Sure that will work.

Here is a good chili recipe, without some of the ingrediants that you are using.


This is a recipe that I worked on for years, to size it down and make it fit for family consumption. Prepared the originial recipe for fishing and hunting trips. Never had anybody not come back for seconds, even kids.

This is an edible recipe, if you want it hotter, just increase the Chili Power, or the Cayenne Pepper, or both.

Won't change the flavor, just heats up your internal plumbing!


David's Chili Con Carne Y Frijolies
2 Cups Small Red Beans (Washed and Picked Over)

2 Lbs. Lean Ground Beef (3 Lbs., If Pork Is Omitted)

1 Whole Green Bell Pepper

1/4 Cup Peeled Garlic (Coarsely Chopped and Slightly Crushed)

2 Large Peeled White or Cooking Onions (Coarsely Chopped)

3 Tbls. Chili Powder

2 Tbls. Ground Oregano (Increase By 1 tsp. If Whole Crushed Seeds Are Used.)

(Note) Sage May Be Substituted For Chia Seed.

1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves

1/2 tsp. Ground Bay Leaf (Increase To 1 tsp. If Whole Crushed Leaf Is Used.)

1/8-1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

Salt To Taste (1 tsp. Is A Good Starting Point)

1 1/2 Cups Tomatoe Puree or Paste (Tomatoe Sauce Makes The Chili Too Runny)

1 1/2 Quarts Bean Stock (From Cooked Beans)

(If Only Whole Herb Ingredients Are Available, They May Be Run In A Blender For Smoother Consistancy.)

In A Large Pot, Cover Beans With At Least 6 to 8 Cups Of Water. Bring To A Boil and Then Simmer Until Beans Are Soft, But Not Mushy. Drain Beans and Retain The Stock For Use In The Chili.

In A 4 Inch Deep Iron Skillet, Brown The Meat At A Medium High Heat. After Browning, Add Onions, Garlic, Bell Peppers, and All The Herbs. Stir and Toss This Dryish Mixture For About 15 Minutes. Add Tomatoe Puree or Paste and Mix Well. To This Add 1/3 Of The Bean Stock (More Can Be Added For Consistancy.) Reduce Heat and Simmer 12 Hours Or So, Adding Bean Stock As Necessary.

In A Large Pot (Bean Pot Is Good), Mix The Chili and The Beans and Simmer For At Least 2 Hours Before Serving.

Left Over Chili and Beans Can Be Frozen and Reheated For Later Use.

Serves 8 to 10 People

Answer 3

Doesn't chili make you sh*it funny enough? Corn? nope!

Seriously...

I think it would be fine as long as you don't add it into the pot and cook it with... Add it on top as a crunchy sweet accoutrement.

here are some other great ingredients. My six year old cooks all the chili in my house and this is what he put's.

Chocolate shavings
Cinnamon & sugar
a pinch of ginger powder
the vinegar from chopped jalapeno's jar
and some of the chopped jalapeno
diced onion, green pepper and cilantro
Ground Cumin, chili powder and paprika
Garlic diced.

He takes a huge pot and heats olive oil in the bottom, he grinds all of the spices together (except for the chocolate) in the morter and pestle and chops and scrapes (supervised of course!) with corse sea salt the cilantro, the jalapeno's and the onion, pepper and garlic on a board to make it the consistency of a paste. He adds them to the pot with the spices and browns them lightly. Removes that, and browns the meat in the same pot drains the fat (I do that) and reincorporates everything again. He takes the tomatoes and the beans and puts everything all together and then adds the sugar and the chocolate shavings at the end.

Serve over rice with corn chips. ( I guess you could use the corn in place of the sugar?) Sounds gross to me texture wise though?)

and if you are using a store bought mix. I wouldent use it if it has that mexican thickener that starts with an M in it (can't remember the name) It is a ground white powder and it will SCREW your stomach UP! It is made from corn meal so I don't think you would need corn too?

Sounds gross... Trust me it is absolutely delicious!

Answer 4

No. No sweet kernel corn in the chile. If you want to have the corn then make a salsa with it. Or a salad.

Here are some ideas:
