Texas Chili

[Anonymous No.14985507]

Hey bros, in my family in growing up in Texas we always made a big pot of chili on Halloween. My dad would hold a bowl of it out to trick-or-treaters and say "hey, want some ice cream?," lol.

Anyways, what are your tips for good Texas chili? My folks made it from a packaged mix, but I want to level up and make the real deal tomorrow.

And no beans. Beans do not belong in chili.

Dumb boomer packets. You need to make your own chili paste, for one. Then look up a recipe for a proper chili con carne. Don't forget a side of homemade cornbread and toppings (sour cream, high quality sharp cheddar, avocado, jalapeno pepper slices)

Yeah, sweet cornbread is a must. We also topped with diced red onion, I remember.

Lots of actual chilies like arbol and whatnot, use beer to deglaze after you brown the meat, and a shitload of cumin. Don't forget to let it simmer at least a few hours

Alright, you wanna level up?

>make paprika from toasted dried chili's
This alone will move your chili up a rank on the scale

>use fresh ground toasted cumin
>lots of fresh peppers
>add a roasted soupbone while stewing
>deglaze onions and peppers with beer
>tomato paste, not tomato sauce
>add anchovies

And remember to never add any beans.

>no beans
Beyond based. Imagine eating spicy bean and meat soup. Thanks for restoring my faith in /ck/. Big Bean shills really had me thinking everyone likes them

No-Bean Texan checking in; you guys use stew beef, like chuck, and not ground beef right?

[Anonymous No.14986751]

>>14986672
Of course, fellow texan. Only the best chuck. I trim the fat strips and render it down to sautee the onions as well.

fuk you that shit taste on point, it sounds odd but so does cocoa powder, beer, coffee, and a bunch of other weird shit that turns out to be really good in chili. I got got the same reaction from people when i sauteed the onions/peppers in bacon fat but nowdays all competition chili uses a few strips of bacon then fries the veggies in its fat.

they don't even put tomato paste, just beef and peppers which is just meat slop at that point but because someone did it 300 years ago when there were no other ingredients available that some how means its better then 300 years of improvements to fix all its shortcomings

Real men put beans in chili. If you don't put beans in your chili you are either a child or a woman.

Redpill me, do you wash your dried peppers with water before using them or do they lose too much of flavor because of that?
