How do you make your chili?

Question

What goes good with it besides rice?

Answer 1

I start by using Carrol Shelby's seasoning pouch...it's makes for a good jumping off point for your flavoring. My hubby and I like it simple, yet spicy, using ground sirloin and kidney beans. There are a million variations on chilli, so it's a good idea to figure out what you like first, then experiment or find a recipe that fits your taste.

An awesome side for chili has alwaye been cornbread. You can even take a cheapy box, some buttermilk, shredded cheddar cheese, corn and chopped jalapanos and make yourself a darn yummy companion for your chili. If you're not a fan of cornbread, a nice chewy loaf of sourdough bread is really good also.

Answer 2

I too, use Carrol Shelby seasoning. Then I add crushed fresh tomato, tomato juice - from the fresh tomatoes - just cooked down to concentrate the flavors, 2 lbs fried ground beef, 1 lg. can kidney beans, 2 C diced bell pepper, and 1 large diced onion 1 T homemade HOT HOT crushed red pepper, salt & pepper. Throw it into the crock pot and let it cook for about 12 hours. Thicken it with some corn starch slurry. You're good to go.

I usually serve it with more hot sauce, shreadded cheese, and tortilla chips. Sometimes sour cream - if I've got it.

Answer 3

After making the chili I put Real mashed potatoes(not instant ones) into a casserole pan then add Peppers and other spice to taste layer of cheese then my cornbread mix poured on top then bake till cornbread is done
