Hey /CK/,
I'm cooking chilli con carne (or bean soup, whatever, it has meat in it) for the family tomorrow night and am wondering if anyone could offer any improvements for my recipe:

>Base:
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can red kidney beans
500ml tomato passata
1 green capsicum (chopped finely)
2 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
1 brown onion (chopped finely
600 grams ground beef

>Seasoning:
2 tsp flour
2 tsp brown sugar
4 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil leaves
1 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper

>Procedure:
1. Brown beef, sauté vegetables. Add the canned and bottled items to a pot, along with the seasoning, the sautéed vegetables and the ground beef. Bring to the boil and simmer for three hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with corn chips or on a bed of rice, with sour cream.

Can anyone give me some suggestions that aren't removing the beans? I've read online that some people add corn and green beans, but to me this seems confused. Does anyone have any thoughts on the recipe otherwise?

Chili is extremely hard to fuck up just looks up a few recipes for basic guidelines and add whatever sounds good to you. Last time I added local sweet corn, maters from the garden, and whatever beans were in the pantry ( including some Mexican black beans)

Well I've provided the recipe I typically use in the OP, I then asked if anyone had any ideas to add to it. I then got a whole thread of remove the beans. The thing that's difficult about posting on /ck/ is that half the time you're beleagued by posters more interested in pushing a meme than they are discussing food.

No, it's got too much tomato in it and you're using ground beef. Get a cheap tough cut of beef, cube it up, and get everything slow-cooking in your crock pot fairly early tomorrow morning.

Reduce the passata?
I forgot to mention I typically drain the beans and tomatos before adding it in, so the passata typically forms the liquid component.

form your liquid component from the unctuous juices of cooked-down fat and ligaments and such, and the liquid from the onion and the peppers. add as little tomato as possible. it overpowers everything else.

also get some dried chilies in there.

and get that basil outta here, this isn't spaghetti bolognese.

you need more depth of flavor. I would add some finely-chopped carrot and celery to the onion.

Your recipe is fine, the beanless chili people are referring to on this thread is a Texas red. Because texans have small penises, they over compensate with ten gallon hats, boots with heels, and acting like their chili is THE shit when it is actually just childish

>> No.4707432

what you should really be using for the liquid component, if you must add additional liquid, is something earthy like dark beer or coffee.

Heading up to the grocery store in fifteen minutes, any last minute ideas?

Remove the brown sugar. Its not doing anything for you.

Instead of green capsicum used smoked, dried peppers. Use many different types of peppers. Taste your pepper mix before putting it into the chili so you don't overheat it.

Add an additional 2 tsp ground cumin in the final 10 minutes of cooking. Cumin is affected by the heat.

3 hours is a long time. You should take one ladel out every hour and refrigerate. Taste each sample the following day and see if you really need to simmer it that long (it will vary on the quality of your ingredients, your elevation, etc so I can't tell you offhand)

Based on your units of measurement we don't live in the same country so guess I don't know where you should source your ingredients :\ If you have a Central Market they have an excellent selection.

Dump the seasoning mix, use a variety of nice dried chilis and maybe some canned chipotle in adobo. Seed the chilis, then boil them until they're soft. Blend it together with the stock and any tomato stuff you're adding.

McCormicks is shit tier.
I like those spices in the glass bottles from San Francisco. Pretty fresh stuff. Buy whole stuff when you can and grind it on the spot. Makes a huge difference in flavor. Seriously have a granite mortal and pestle for spice grinding it lasts forever and will generally melt the panties.
