only faggots, spics and texans call it "chili con carne"

Brown the mince and remove from pan, saute onion, garlic, and jalapenos. Add the mince, cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground chilli, cook for a few minutes, add beans, corn and green capsicum, pour over can of tomatoes and some beef stock, simmer until reduced and thickened. Serve over rice with chopped coriander (cheese, sour cream, hot sauce all optional)

authentic chili is good, but i like the americanized version with beans. with like thirty saltines crushed up into it. yum.

I don't make it white rice like a faggot

i take a hot plate into my backyard and sear the ever-loving-shit out of ground beef formed into patties

then i let it cool and crumble it with my hands
i sweat down a yellow onion and then add the ground beef, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and combine that until everything is dark red and well-coated

then i add a cup of tomato sauce, and two cups of beef broth, simmer for 30 minutes, cool overnight, and then reheat and serve

this man knows the importance of a good sear

>>16984516
I cube my block of mince, then add the cubes to a hot pan and keep turning the cubes until they're all browned and the centre isn't cold anymore, then I break them up with my wooden spoon.

I include kidney beans and a cup of cider, no corn. Serve with crushed saltines and plain yogurt on top.

But ground meat has a bigger surface. You're doing something wrong.

>>16984621
>bigger surface
that's the point?
you can flatten them into really thin patties and maximize the amount of sear that ends up in the final product

>>16984632
But ground meat has more surface than can brown. You will also create more fond in the pan with ground meat.

i really want to understand your point, but it's not clicking for me
are you saying that browning pea-sized chunks of ground beef will result in more sear than a paper-thin hamburger patty?
like, i won't argue, but that just doesn't seem right to me, intuition-wise
if the patties were thick, maybe, but i'm talking Freddy's thin
