I know this may be horrible to some 'authentic natural fags', but It tastes very good to me:

1: one can of Hormel Chilli as a "starter"
2. can of Bush's baked beans, your flavor choice
3. about 3/4 cups of salsa. I use thick and chunky pace picante.
4. two dollops of sour cream - maybe 3 tbs?
5. Velveeta cheese, a decent sized chunk. Maybe 1/2 cup?
6. three Oscar Meyer hot dogs cut up into little rounds.
7. I like onion, so I dice a whole onion into the chili. However, probably 1/2 of an onion is more appropriate.
8. 1 tsp of chilli powder if you have it. Red pepper flakes too if you like it a bit more hot. The sour cream and Velveeta makes it very mild.

Stir and cook until onions are tender. I basically made this on a whim when in college and needed a large pot of something for the week. Turned out to be pretty tastay.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

If there are beans, it is merely chili con frijoles.

We can all still be friends here without regional "This is Chili," "No it isn't!" sperging.

retarded meme shit but the recipe is godly

>> No.6030897

I have progressed to more complex dishes like in the OP, beans/meat stew and such, but I grew up on plain chili:

2lbs ground beef
3-4 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp cumin powder (ground cumino)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2t salt
1 tsp black pepper

Brown beef in a large pot, add black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder at beginning, end with salt, chili powder, and cumin. Cover with water and simmer until thick and thoroughly mixed, maybe 20min.

I now use much more complex ingredients, fresh cut veg, garlic, etc, but this one always tastes great over Fritos, lettuce, tomato, diced onion, and topped with grated cheddar.

It's good but I never get that "brown mush" that most chili sits in. How do I get that effect? I don't drain the liquids out of the cans and I scoop out the seeds from the peppers.

>> No.6030992

Use something flavorful for the liquid, not water. Veggie juice or beer or stock are good choices.

Cook it longer. It should simmer for hours.

Make sure you brown the meat, not just cook it.

>> No.6030996

>>6030992
I brown the meat and the chili sits for 6 hours and I occasionally stir it. I'll dump a beer into next time to see how that changes it. I'm guessing I should use about a half pint of dark ale.

No, ALL of your liquid should be the ale. Or stock. Or tomato juice.

Do. Not. Use. Water.

Something else that might help is simply to use more peppers. You have quite a high ratio of meat to non-meat ingredients.

everyone post their chili recipe and call each other plebs because using/ not using beans!

2 pounds of minced beef
1 rawit pepper and one Jalapeno or more
3 bell peppers
2 onions and 2 cloves of garlic
750 g kidney beans
1 kg canned whole tomatoes
1 l beer
1 l beef broth
2 tblsp cayenne
2 tblsp paprika
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 bay leave
1 tblsp tomatoe paste
some salt

brown the beef in a pan in batches so you get a nice fond at the bottom, throw in a bigger pot when done. Saute onions and peppers in the small pan until translucent, add some butter, garlic, spices and the tomatoe paste. stir well then deglaze with beer. let the alcohol simmer out for a while. Crush the tomatoes and add to the big pott together with the bay leave and beef broth. add the beer and veggies. Bring to boil and add beans. Reduce heat and let simmer for at least 2 hours

This sounds pretty good to me.

Cumin, oregano and paprika always go in my chili, as well as a ton of garlic. I've seen a few recipes that call for cocoa/hot chocolate powder but haven't tried it myself. Apparently it takes some of the sharpness out of the chilis or something, makes it a bit smoother.

I made this very simple chili last night:
>5 cloves of garlic (crushed) and a chopped onion in a pan w/hot olive oil
>diced chicken breast (300g)
>1 sliced bell pepper
>2 cans chopped tomato
>herbs and spices:
>>>oregano
>>>hot chili powder
>>>cumin
>>>paprika
>>>salt
>>>black pepper
>1 can garden peas (personal preference)
>1 can red kidney beans (pls no bully)
>cook on low for minimum 1 hour
If I'd had beer and chili peppers they would've gone in as well.

Mixed some into a pan of (drained) conchiglie, was nice, very hot and spicy. I still have enough for a few more meals.

Nigga there is nothing wrong with using water with cooking, sometimes less is more.

>> No.6031867

My go-to is something like this:

2-3lbs chuck
1lb jimmy dean hot sausage
1 of each pepper diced- jalapeno, poblano, green bell
1 large onion diced
1/4 can chilies in adobo, chilies diced fine
1 can rotel
1 can chili beans (can be omitted but I like a few beans)
2-3 tablespoons tapatio or similar hot sauce
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
beef broth as needed
salt, pepper, cayenne, chili powder and cumin to taste

Brown the steak and sausage, throw in a pot (fat drippings, too) with can of rotel, the chilies and adobo sauce and a cup of beef broth. Simmer for 2-3 hours. Add the vegetables, beans and spices and simmer another 2 hours, adding more broth if needed.

>> No.6031874

>>6031421

Sometimes? Sure. But generally speaking, soups, stews, and chili are greatly improved by cooking them with something flavorful instead of water. And in the case of soups it can be even more important to use stock for that smooth texture.
