who has the best chili recipe??

Answer 1

I'm not sure if it's the best, but it's fairly easy and I find it very tasty and so do my guests:

Brown 1 lb of ground beef and 1lb of ground pork
pour off the fat
Add two large chopped onions
and four minced garlic cloves and cook 5 minutes on medium
Add five stalks chopped celery, a chopped green pepper and a chopped red pepper... stir it up
Add a large can of chopped tomatoes and a large can of kidney beans(drained)... stir it up
Add a small can of tomato paste, a few splashes of hot sauce, half a bottle of beer, red pepper flakes, chili powder, cayenne pepper and some oregano. Also some fresh ground black pepper.

Stir it up and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally... Just before you serve it, add some large chunks of chopped mushrooms...

I also add shredded cheese on top of each bowl before I serve it... you can play around with the spices to your taste, depending on if you like it spicy or mild.

Usually chili tastes better the next day, when it has been re-heated.

Here's one for the slow cooker:

Chunky Chili *

1 pound lean ground beef
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. salt
2 cans (8 oz. ea.) tomato sauce
2 t. chili powder
2 cans (15 oz. ea.) kidney beans

Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the kidney beans. In the crock pot, combine the beef with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to remove bay leaf before serving. This is a very thick chili. Add 1 cup of water to make a thinner chili. Serve with rice or corn chips and cheese.

Answer 4

"Real" Chile has NO beans (baked beans? OMFG Gross!), onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers greek seasoning, chocolate, cheese, beer, celery,coffee, etc. in it.
You fry your chili meat (coarsely chopped - never ground) the meat can be any sort of red meat like beef, bison, goat,etc.; throw in your chili powder (your choice- as much as you want) let it simmer as long as you want then if is needs some liquid add some water. You thicken the dish with some cornmeal as needed.
BTW I never eat it that way, but it is the original way it was cooked.

Oh, and Cincinnati is NOT the chili capitol of the world - chile on pasta?!! "sweet" chili I think I'm gonna barf.
