First pot of chili this year...

[BrandonF]

Well its about that time for me.

What is your favorite chili recipe?

Here is mine...

2.5lbs ground beef
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped bell pepper
4 tablespoons FRESH minced garlic
2 cans of diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 teaspoon of sugar
some chili powder, salt, black pepper
a dash of paprika
1 bay leaf

AND...

I like to add 2 cans of light red beans (drained and rinsed, and make sure they are the light beans)

__________________________________________________ _

Brown mean and drain then transfer everything to a crockpot

Cook for 5-6 hours on low or 3-4 on high

I like mine just how it comes out, but occasionally on my second bowl Ill add a slop of sour cream and fritos. The girlfriend turned me on to this and I kinda like it.

Now im hungry. Headed to Krogers in a bit. This will on the list for tomorrows dinner

Sounds good, still to hot down here for me to stand over a hot pot of chili.

[Slick8]

Wow sounds good, that's a lot of Red pepper, I bet that will clear the ole sinus cavity...

From another thread.

I've made a slightly altered version of this for some time and have served it at some fairly large gatherings where taste may vary...everyone eats their fill and then some...

I substitute chicken stock for the granules and finely chop some dried but still rubbery Ancho peppers plus use Ancho chilli powder for my dark and a little brown sugar.

This is in our recipe section. It is hands down the best chili ever.
You will thank me.

It is a lot of red pepper. It could be made w/o so much I suppose. We like spicy food around here though. I get that from my dad.

He makes a stew that we call "Armando Stew" (gets the name from a Mexican mechanic that works for him) and it is amazingly good and simply to make. It has fresh roasted/blackened Anaheim peppers as the main spice ingredient. Ummmmmmm...

When we visit my parents during the cooler months it is on the menu w/o evening having to ask.

I have switched from the huge recipe to Ragin Blaze Chili. Best commercial made chili on the planet.

Bet you $10.00 that I am Blake's best customer on the G/S.

Hi Blake................

[RascalArms]

Love me some venison chili but it's still a little warm IMO. Regardless, simple is the way I roll:

2 lbs venison (chili grind)
1 lb venison (hamburger grind)
1 package breakfast sausage (I think this is a key ingredient. I use Owens hot)
1 large white onion (chopped)
4 cloves fresh chopped garlic (or about 8 teaspoons minced)

First, brown all meat and drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 10 mins.

Then Add:
46oz beef broth
2 cans Rotel original
2 16oz cans diced tomatoes
1 16oz can tomato sauce
My family likes beans in their chili so I add 2 cans Bush's Chili beans (optional)
Bring all to a boil, then reduce heat
Then stir in 2 packages of Williams Chili Seasoning Mix

Simmer stirring occasionally for about 40 minutes to an hour...and that's it!

Serve in a bowl over crushed tortilla chips and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and maybe a few extra chopped onions.

Heres mine. I am gonna try Blakes mix this year though.

Sounded good until you got to the beans.

I'm a fan of the Ragin Blaze chili, it's so simple and comes out prefect ever time. I'm also one that won't make chili until we get since cold weather.
