Does anyone have any really good chili recipes?

Question

I have to go to a meeting that I really have no desire to go to but I thought I could drop some bombs as long as they're making me go.

Answer 1

No chili recipe, but I can recommend this:

Take one fresh dog-turd, and a handful of raw prawns. Plant them behind the radiator in the meeting room, and switch the heating up to full.

Your meeting will be cancelled.

Answer 2

Pick a nice piece of chuck and have it ground. Chop finely onions and green bell peppers (must be fresh and smell good and strong). Fry up the meant, drain the grease, add water and boil for a while so the fat rises and you scoop it off. Add the onions and let them cook until almost tender. You will often need to replenish the water. Add the peppers. Cook until almost tender and add some McCormick chili powder - not too much, especially since more will be added near the end. Add in a small can of Hunt's tomato sauce. Keep stirring and let things blend, maybe 20-30 minutes. The juice will be thick, although you still must add water occasionally. Then add some more powder. For 2 lb., don't put more than a total of 2 teaspoons. Mix in about half teaspoon of fresh McCormick black pepper (hey, it's the quality spice brand). Stir about 2 minutes and turn off the gas. Once you put in the last shot of spice, you want it to dissolve and mix good, but not have time to cook away. Good meat is the key, and the secret is not to over-spice. The veggies, of course, should be flavorful - having just a few ingredients balances the tastes without losing them among too many things. Enjoy.

Answer 3

My mother used to make the best chili. She would buy the Wick Fowler's 2-alarm chili mix (This is the hot one, but they do have a not-as-hot one) at the grocery store, mix it with about 2 lbs browned hamburger meat, 2 cans Kidney and 2 cans Pinto beans, a can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. Put it over some boiled macaroni noodles with shredded cheddar and crushed crackers on top..yummy.

Answer 4

No self-respecting chili lover uses a "MIX" for their chili.
Beef, beans, and tomatoes are the basics. Spices make or break the chili.
Myself, I make sure to put in Cayenne powder from ground peppers, chili powder, black and white pepper, white and brown sugar, and garlic. Amounts depend upon mood of the day.
There is no tried and true "recipe"

Answer 5

I never had bad chili in my life. So whichever recipe you use, I can only suggest that you substitute broccoli florets for half the meat. It'll make it far more healthy. The tongue can barely distinguish the beef from the broccoli. And it adds a very compatible flavor and texture.
