Who else is having chili tonight?

[12]

My own version of Carol Shelby's... much less salt, much more garlic and cayene... jalepeños, sour cream and sharp chedder. All piled on top of a thin bed of original Fritos®.

I also add red beans because I'm considered a "Yankee" in these parts.

It is in the low 40s here... nothing like the cold up there at home, but still... you take what you get. And this is chili weather!

[olevetonahill]

Its simmering now :)
Im adding onion and making cornbread to go with it

[12]

Preach it to me, brother!

[olevetonahill]

Oh yea jalepenos in the corn bread along with grated cheese ;)

[jk the sooner fan]

too funny, i got back from ft benning late last nite and made sure we went to the store this morning to get fixins for chili

i'm about to start it in a few, along with cornbread! :)

[12]

Happy Heart Attack. See you on the other side.

God gave us jalepeños and cheese.

We must use these gifts.

[ChickSoonerFan]

Had some for lunch.

Did not have all the fixin's though. Just cornbread and cheese.

Still very yummy!

[jk the sooner fan]

i use my wife's simple recipe, and just add some flavor to it with spices, etc.....so easy to make but damn good!

[GottaHavePride]

I have a book that has a recipe from a guy that won the Texas Sate Fair's chili contest a few years back. I still have some in the freezer - good stuff.

In Texas, it is a sin to include beans in your chili. I would bet your frozen potion is without the bean.

I have a near-homicidal problem with the exclusion of beans in my chili.

Oh, and sour cream, picante sauce and shredded chedder can make most any dish good.

Oh, and... do share...

[Sooner04]

Heading to the store later this evening to buy the ingredients to make 04's famous chili.

[Jerk]

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! MAY YOU BE BLESSED FOREVER!

My wife made a big crockpot full of chillie today and I never thought about eating it with jalapenos. ohh..man, it hits the spot!

If you know beans about chili, you know chili has no beans.

[Okla-homey]

Chili con carne...no frijoles por favor.

Actually his recipe is the best of both worlds. If you like beans in chili you cook them separately (pot o water and bacon, simmer 3 hours) and put them in the bottom of the bowl under the chili.

Amen!

Oh, and the recipe in question, sice you asked:

1/4 cup oil
3 lbs. beef chuck or round (1/4-inch cubes or chili grind)
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 TB paprika
5-6 TB chili powder
1 TB ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 tsp. salt
1 cup water (or more)
1 jalapeno chile seeded and halved (or 1 tsp. cayenne)

Heat the oil and cook the beef until evenly browned. Ad onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add paprika, chili powder, cumin, and oregano - stir for 3 minutes to cook the spices. Add tomato sauce, salt, and water and stir to combine. Add jalapeno or cayenne (I think I used a ripe jalapeno AND a serrano and chopped them both finely - tossed them in seeds and all) if you want hotter chili.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 hours, stir occasionally and add water as needed. Serve ladled over pinto beans (if you want 'em) and put some onion and cheddar on top.


I found that a little less oil might be better - maybe only 2 oz. would do if you're using ground chuck, a bit more if you're using round.

We had chili earlier in the week..we went with stew tonight.

[GottaHavePride]

Was it a so-so stew?

[OU-HSV]

Was it a so-so stew?
Actually, I'm not a big stew/soup fan. But it was pretty damn good..spek to my wife.

[SoonerWood]

Venison, IMO, makes the best chili
