chilli should be made with only chillies. I don't even know where all this bullshit with beef and son of a bitch bean eats came from.

delete your thread wile you can OP. It's going to turn into a massive shitstorm concerning weather or not beans and/or meat belong in it, some times there is ever a few chilli pepper fags.

Protip: Its beans AND meat Chillis optional you faggots!!! Get out with your bean soup, and meat sauce.

>>4651344
:^)

You want easy and tastes good?

Get some ground beef
Carol Shelby's chili mix
Some canned pintos
And whatever else you like in chili:
Onions to brown
tomato
Tomato paste
Dark chocolate
beef stock
Beer

Put it all in a pot, enjoy.

(and fuck anyone who claims this is horrible)

>>4651353
>Dark Chocolate
>Pre made "Mix"

Ya maybe if you wanted to serve this stuff to Satan. Get out with that devil worship witches stew.

>>4651353
Dark chocolate and beer? I saw other recipes online that also asked for coffee. What the fuck is wrong with people, maybe because I've never made chili with any of those but that sounds disgusting (mainly chocolate and coffee, beer doesn't sound too bad).

>>4651475
they're trying to imitate mole flavors, without making actual mole. Beer is a fairly common ingredient in chili, though.

>>4651304

It's not the best recipe but it's fast and simple:

2 lb lean ground beef
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 oz can tomato sauce
1 can red kidney beans

Brown the beef, add everything else, simmer for 30 minutes.

Done.

>inb4 ahmagerd beans no chilis, whatever. It's easy and it's chili. You want a chili snob thread, this is not it.

>>4651509
Alternately, instead of buying individual spices, you can always pick up a packet of (pictured) and follow the instructions.

Again, it's not going to win a chili cook-off, but it's tasty.

>Who here has ever had a truly BAD chili?

>>4651509
Exactly the kind of recipe I'm looking for. Thanks! I'm assuming I can add some oil into a pan and add onions and garlic instead of onion/garlic powder, then add the ground beef and do the rest, right?

>>4651515
I'll have to try those. I regularly don't care cayenne pepper or chili powder, nor would I have a use for those outside of making just chili, so that might be useful. Thanks, bro.

Here's mine

>250g of ground beef (you can use 500g if you want but eh)
>3 cans of diced tomatoes
>2 cans of kidney beans
>1 nice jalapeno
>1-2 onions
>1-2 cloves of garlic
>salt
>pepper
>smoked paprika (hot)
>Worcestershire sauce (optional)
>Tabasco (optional)
>one large/high pot

>Put some salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco on your beef
>chop up your onions while pot is heating up
>when pot is hot enough, put beef in and brown it
>continue chopping onions and garlic if you need to
>no red on the beef? put onions in and reduce heat to mid-high
>chop up that jalapeno (remove seeds if you want to reduce their heat
>onions translucent? put in jalapeno
>open up those cans of tomatoes
>put garlic into pot
>wait a bit until that nice garlic smell hits you
>pour in the tomatoes
>season it with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and the paprika
>reduce heat to low-medium
>let it simmer for 60 minutes
>stir occasionally
>after 60 minutes, put in the beans with the water in the can
>simmer for 30 more minutes

Enjoy a nice chilli that really is easier than it looks like.

You think that's chili your eating, now?

>>4651564

Without them it'd be just hot tomato soup.

>>4651564
Hay guize, I made chili just like you so-called experts kept telling me too. I didn't put in any ingredients that aren't "expert-approved"

How's it look?

the Good Eats chili recipe (season 8, episode 6, "the Big Chili") is a pretty good one, though I have always made it slow in the oven (no pressure cooker) and used a double portion of beef to replace the portion of lamb (annoyingly hard to find locally).

You can use chili powder off the shelf for it but you will probably want to use a bit more and be ready to adjust the seasoning.

>>4651555
needs cumin

>>4651564
people who aren't autistic happen to like chili the way it is most often eaten, and not set up for some trophy attempt where they're using prunes

>>4651564
Chili, like tacos and sandwiches, has no definite recipe.

I made this chili the other day. How'd I do guys?

>>4651627
The fuck is this? Did you even ADD kale?

>Amateur hour, here.

>ground meat
>beans
>some chili mix
>hot sauce because those mixes are weak

DONE

>>4651304
ground meat (preferrably chuck, and a little pork)
red peppers
onions
diced tomatoes
beer
tomato paste
(anything else you want to add like corn, green peppers, jalapenos)
chili mix: chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, rosemary, thyme, dried chili flake, hot sauce. all herbs dried

lightly brown meat and drain, add in vegetables and sautee, add in tomato puree and cook off, add in diced tomatoes and beer, almost all the spices, let simmer for 1-6 hours.

add fresh spices with about 10 minutes left to go.

garnish with fresh cilantro, thyme, or rosemary, and/or sour cream, cheese.

>>4651689
if youre looking to stretch the budget and feet a little more people, ill add some more beer, beef stock, or water and put in some type of pasta, like spaghetti or shells, or rotini and some kidney beans

>>4651607

Never missed it. Might add it next time I'm cooking it to see what it tastes like.

Stupid, overcomplicated autistic fagtards trying to look important by proving over complicated recipes. Heh heh.

Here is what REAL chili is.

>confirmed for not understanding chile and possibly being european because they think beans go in chile

Sorry guys I try to not respond to troll threads, but I can't let this one go. Beans do not go in chile, if you put them in you are not eating chile, pls stop saying that is chile op do not use beans

If chili wasn't supposed to have beans in it why do "chili beans" exist?

Check and mate

tell us more.

>>4651989

Yeah I'm European, and you know goddamn well that I'm not eating Chile. I'm not American, how could that fit in my stomach.

I'm eating Chili Con Carne, I don't care what's authentic, I don't care if some Mexican is throwing a bottle of Tequila at the wall right now. I like it with beans and minced meat. It's quite cheap, it fills you up, it tastes great and it's called Chili Con Carne. Deal with it, turbonerd.

On an unrelated note, sorry for calling you that. I know the dish that I cook as Chili Con Carne and I'm going to keep on calling that, no matter how much anybody says that "it's not real" or that beans don't belong into it. That's how I know it, that's how I'm going to make it.

>>4652002
>Chili Con Carne

What a redundant fucking name for a food. Chili automatically means you have meat in it so why on earth would you advertise that it has meat?

"whole wheat bread made with wheat"

>>4652008

A horfhorfhorf, why do English-speaking countries call chillis, paprika and pepper the same fucking name, peppers? Got an explanation for that you plebosauraus? If yes, screw that, it's stupid.
If no, screw that, it's stupid anyway.

Chili is in no way saying "THERE'S MEAT IN THERE".
It's Chili. Do you see "meat", "beef" of anything like that in the term "Chili"? I don't see it. I see five letters that don't even resemble the word "meat".

>>4652015
I sell chili at my work that has no meat in it at all.
It has soy TVP mince instead.
I'm not vegetarian but I can't tell from eating it that it has no meat, I had to read the label.

>>4652008

Actually no - Chili is short for chili con carne in English, in spanish it means 'chilis with meat', as in chili peppers with meat. Chile Rellano doesn't have meat, for example.

Fuck, this thread is making me hungry as fuck for chili. It's been too long. Is chili very high calorie? Like, is it going to kill my diet if I make a pot? I usually do mine with some well marbled chuck roast but I'd probably try a leaner rump roast this time. No beans most of the time, just lots of chopped onion, peppers, garlic, beer and love.

>tl;dr

Chili on a diet. Yes or no?

>>4652045
Chile relano DOES have meat, faggot. It's a hollowed poblano stuffed with meat, breaded, fried, covered in melted cheese and sauce.

>>4652059

So what you're saying is you think 'chili' is Spanish for meat?

>>4652062
I'm saying pic related is what I know to be a chili relleno, and it's always stuffed with some kind of meat. I guess you could stuff it with rice or beans but thats not fun. Those are side dishes.

>>4652066

So then you're not saying that the word chili automatically means has meat? You know, what was the fucking point of the conversation, faggot? We're good to continue now that you've had your asspie freakout?

>>4652066
Point of interest - every chili relleno I've ever seen has been filled with melted cheese, no meat.

They're fucking delicious, I get them all the time.

>>4652090
I've never heard of this, sounds like a big ass jalapeno popper. Usually I see them stuffed with ground beef, sometimes fajita meat or chicken. Never seen one stuffed with cheese.

>>4652090
I've had a few done with some chicken in them. I think one of the local places will put pig in it too.

>>4652077
STFU sperg lord. Technically you started the conversation so I don't know what you're going on about. Chili automatically means that it has chili peppers. And chili relleno has meat. Are we going to have to split ends over this?

>>4652090
I had one of these and didn't know what it was, mine was like yours, just cheesy deliciousness.

>>4652040
>It has soy TVP mince instead.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

oh god.

lol

>>4652106
>Chili automatically means you have meat in it so why on earth would you advertise that it has meat?

Quiet now my little cumguzzler. What started the conversation was:
>Chili automatically means you have meat in it so why on earth would you advertise that it has meat?

>>4652134
You have trouble with the copy/paste functions, don't you?

I ate chili today that I made yesterday. Before I used to always make it with tomatoes, but this time I tried to go full-on Texan style and omitted the tomato. It was chuck roast, beef stock, and pureed chili peppers (including some canned chipotle in adobo), and nothing else.
It was strong-tasting (since I used more chilis) but good. I dunno, I might actually prefer the beef and bean soup though.

>>4651304

jesus fuck if the ingredient is so weird you don't have to include it you fucking idiot

how can you be this fucking pleb

>beans
>tomato pasta

place in pot, add whatever the fuck you feel like adding

>>4651353

>chili mix

Hi /ck/, I have alot of leftover taco meat...it's just ground beef with taco seasoning. Could i repurpose it for, letsay, >>4651509 's recepie?

>>4652182
Worth a shot. See if it's any good.

I've been dicking around with a chili recipe for when I'm in a chili mood but also feeling lazy.

3 lb ground beef, 8-15% fat
1 (10 oz) tube of pork chorizo
1 (7 oz) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
28 oz can of tomato sauce
---
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne powder
1 tsp cumin

Chop up the chipotles and throw it in the pot with the meats and tomato sauce for 20 minutes. Then add the powders and simmer for another 20 minutes.

I'm still working on the recipe, but it's really easy and if you get all the spices from the mexican aisle, you can feed 8 people on $20.

Criticism welcome.

undesirable

Here's the chili recipe that I got from the internet that I base my chili on when cooking chili. I usually add stuff like fresh peppers, extra onion and sometimes different or less meat. But I try to follow the recipe approximately and it works out well.

2lb Ground beef
1 onion diced
3 clove garlic minced
3 14.5 ounce can diced tomato
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 cup water (I do chicken broth)
1 15oz can kidney bean
1 15oz can pinto bean

2tbs chili powder
1tbs cumin
2tbs sugar
1tbs salt
1tsp pepper
1tbs hot sauce (I usually do cayenne powder and/or fresh hot peppers)
(I like to add some bay leaves and dry oregano as well)

1) Brown the meat
2) add the onion, cook till translucent
3) add any other vegetables & garlic (not the canned tomatoes/beans), stir, cook a couple minutes
4) add the spices, stir well, cook a minute
5) dump everything else in, stir
6) cook for at least 1hour, I do 2hrs. Stir occasionally. Skim fat occasionally if desired.

You guys don't even fucking know how to make proper chili.

Use dried chiles, re-hydrate them, and cook that with pureed tomatoes. That's a proper chili. Even with just salt, some oregano, maybe cumin, and cooked with whatever beans and meat you want, it's miles ahead of any shit in this thread.

Enjoy your flavorless "chili," and stay hella prole.

stew until chili

>>4652388
pleb shit

>every chili thread

>>4652405
It's hilarious. Chili comes from Oaxacan culture, and many "chili" dishes there use beans, many use meat, many use both, and many use neither.

>>4652412

No, it doesn't. The precursor dishes to chili actually came from Pueblo people, who served venison with chilis in a stew.

>>4652419
Get the fuck out. Oaxacans have been making meals of stewed peppers, tomatoes, meat, and/or beans long before those plants even made it to the pueblo lands.

>>4652392
>Anyone have a really simple and good chili recipe? All the ones I'm finding online feel absurdly complicated and required weird ingredients. I've never made chili before but after having a chili burger from the fast food chain Tommy's, I was inspired.Preferably with simple ingredients I can find in any supermarket.
>>4652392


GTFO with your hipster bullshit, rich white faggot. Not everybody has time to locally source a onion.

>>4652440
I was referring to the pleb chili powder

Use cheap ass dried chiles, noob

My mother puts onions and ground TURKEY in chili

My pleb but delicious recipe:

500g mince (ground beef, whatever amerifag)
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 Can of kidney beans
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 Tbsp tomato ketchup
2 Tsp cumin powder
1 Tsp turmeric powder
1 Tsp Coriander
Pinch salt + pepper to taste
However much dried chili flakes as you like.

Chop the onion and fry it in oil til it gets see through. Add in the entire packet of beef and smash it up til it's all separated.

Fry it together til the meat is browned (and all the excess water has cooked off if you used shit-tier/frozen meat). I like to use a medium sized, medium depth Le Creuset pan.

Add in all the spices and salt/pepper and stir the shit out of it at a fairly high heat to coat the meat and fry the spices. Prob takes 2 mins. Smell should be pretty fackin strong and eye watering, but amazing.

Before anything burns, throw in the tomatoes and turn the heat down a little. It should start to simmer or lightly boil which is the level you want. Leave it as such for 30mins or so, or until the tomatoes have reduced somewhat. Keep checking and stirring.

After reduction, squeeze in the tomato ketchup. Adds a lot of sweetness to it and intensifies the flavour. Might be pleb but fuck it. Throw in the drained kidney beans and stir. Let it simmer for another 15 minutes. If it's too thick you can add a tiny bit of water but usually if I do this I squeeze in some tomato puree too.

After the 15 minutes it is ready!

>Here's my recipe!
>dried chilies

Good job, did you learn that in culinary school?

>>4654552
No, it's just fucking common sense.

Oh I'm gonna make chili! By the way, I'm going to used the dried crusted remains of the shittiest chilis ever to put in my "chili"

>>4654554

Dried chili flakes/chili powder tastes pretty swell in a dish. Don't know what it tastes like on it's own because who would eat that pure?
But you know, you could just post your chili recipe. Maybe it sounds neat and I'm going to try it out even though I'm not OP.

>>4654557
They taste fine because you've never used freshly made chili paste from dried/smoked chilis.

I don't have just one recipe, and I never make it the same way twice. My basics:

* Heirloom tomatoes in the summer/canned tomatoes in the winter ( sometimes I can leftover heirlooms from the summer, if I don't have any, just use cheap canned tomatoes at the store)
* 4 cloves garlic
* Some white onion
* Corn oil or lard
* 8-12 dried red chiles ( New Mexico, Colorado, California, Guajillo)
* Mexican Oregano or Cumin
* Broth from whatever meat I made/broth you bought, it doesn't matter
* Beans if you want them

I make a chili paste from the rehydrrated chilis, blending the herbs/garlic in with that. I fry that, then add the broth and tomatoes, then simmer for 30-45 minutes. You can add the meat, however you want during or after simmering. Add the beans towards the end of simmering, if you desire to use beans.

Other things to add:

* Peanuts/walnuts/almonds as a thickening agent
* Various dried red chiles in the paste
* Variety of meats
* Variety of beans
* Tortillas as a thickener

>>4654574
>They taste fine because you've never used freshly made chili paste from dried/smoked chilis.

That's really hard to come by, man.

And do you dice up the meat or cook it so long in there that you can pull it apart?

>>4654581
No, they aren't. We have them in our Krogers and Wal Marts in the rural midwest.

Depends on your meat.

>>4654589

I'm German though and I can't recall seeing dried chilies anywhere, ever. But I'll look around for them, I want to know if they're really that good.

>>4654590
They aren't necessarily hotter, but much more flavorful. Some can get quite hot though, but you only find those in Mexican grocery stores.

Not sure you'd see them ever in Germany :(

>>4651304

all you need to remember is it needs beans and meat

>>4651509

Omit the ground beef and exchange it with Jack Rabbit meat, remove the beans and double the cayenne for texas chili

>>4651304
>All the ones I'm finding online feel absurdly complicated and required weird ingredients.
There's a problem here in that we don't know what your idea of absurdly complicated is. And to an extent, what you consider weird ingredients.

But at the most basic chilli can be:
ground beef
onion
garlic
chilli (I'd recommend multiple kinds for complexity but just one doesn't make terrible chilli)
cumin
salt
pepper
water, beer or a combination

Add beans to this if you like them, leave them out if you don't.

My go-to chilli recipe has only a few more ingredients than this (including three chilli types minimum), but the above ingredients will make the simplest, most basic chilli I can think of that's remotely fully-flavoured.


>>4651989
Beans are absolutely as traditional as any of the other main ingredients, anyone who thinks otherwise is just ignorant. Combine that with being an asshole about it if you want, but know that nobody respects an ignoranus.

>TL;DR Shut up with your elitist no-bean shit

>>4654574
What meat would you use if you were just looking to make a quick batch of chili, you know, like a comfort food?

>>4657912

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but a good standard for chili is simply beef chuck or any cut you'd use for stewing. You can use ground beef if you prefer that to chunks of meat in your chili.

Ideally you would use a combination of meats for better flavor but that's the "old standard".

>>4655790
Agreed, no bean shit is stupid. Beans have been eaten with stewed tomatoes and chilis for millenia.

>that tard who spells chili wrong
>that tard who thinks chili without beans is anything but meat sauce
