Any good recipes?

If you're already making chili, it may be too late for a recipe.

Joe · 12-18-2004, 04:58 PM

I could eat Steak-n-Shake chili all day. Throw in one of their burgers, and I'd be on the can all day.

korme · 12-18-2004, 06:34 PM

oyster crackers? but you live in missour..

shredded cheese? huh!!!??!

please, i'm about to send you some skyline chili, the only acceptable thing.

Since I've now spit soda all over my monitor, you can come over and clean it up.

I think the single most important thing in my chili is that after including all the obvious ingredients (not potatoes, by the way, I just can't imagine) I let it slow cook for at least 8 hours, preferably 16-24.

Don't use sweet onions. Simple yellow or white onions are fine.

If you're going to use canned tomatoes as your base, use a combination of chopped/sliced/diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes -- the latter will constitute the background for the chili, more reliably than the whole tomato pieces.

If you're using beans (big division on this) try a variety -- I like to use 4-5 kinds, even when I'm making meated chili. I also prefer dark red kidneys to light red, your stores might have both. Black eyed peas, cannellini, and field peas are good additions, too.

If you have the time and inclination, roast your hot peppers before adding them.

Chili powder is fine, but chipotle is a very good complementray seasoning that gets overlooked for chili. Don't forget to use cumin. Coriander is okay, but not essential.

I don't understand the concept of "too much garlic."

If you're using meat -- try to do better than lousy old ground beef. Try some cubed steak, or sausage, or sirloin cuts -- it makes a nice difference. Chili is also a good place to try out exotic meats -- aligator, ostrich, whatever seems too weird to eat. Sink it into a long-simmering dish of cayenne seasoning, and it will taste like home.

When you have all your ingredients together and heating up, and you're ready to start a slow cook -- add a bottle of beer. It will mostly boil off, but it adds a good complementary flavor, better than just adding water. (I use vegetable stock in my base, also, btw)

I also like to add some unsual ingredients to mine, especially when I make it veggie style. Black olives, asparagus tips, and (especially) cut okra are all regulars in mine -- all work out well with the testure.

If your chili gets too spicy to enjoy, there are two easy remedies -- add either a little cinnamon (Cincinnati style flavor) or just sugar. It calms the spiciness remarkably well.

I love making chili.

Too spicy!?! I wont eat it unless there are habaneros in mine. We like to slow cook ours like you mentioned above and it really makes a difference.

If you like it hot, try a adding a couple (and I do mean only a couple) drops of Dave's Insanity Sauce into it & stir well.

That's good stuff. I keep a bottle of Daves and a bottle of Yucatan Sunshine Habañero sauce in my desk at work use it on just about everything. I'm sure I will have a hole in my stomach by the time I hit 40.

MizzouRah · 12-18-2004, 08:34 PM

All this talk about hot stuff is making me want some hot wings.

Todd

Tigercat · 12-18-2004, 08:37 PM

I never knew the wonders of Cinnamon/nutmeg style flavors in chilli until i came up here and tried Skyline chili. Now i don't want chili without adding a little bit of cinnamon.

Vince · 12-18-2004, 09:50 PM

Fantastic post Quik -- Chili is one of the few things I can and will cook, and I tend to think I do it well. I'll have to add some of your pointers into my repertoire -- as a college student for the last 5-6 years, I haven't had the budget to do more than ground beef, but we'll see what we can come up with now that I'm actually making some cash

And I wholeheartedly agree with the Dave's Insanity Sauce contingent -- it's amazing stuff.

MizzouRah · 12-18-2004, 10:45 PM

I use sugar in mine, but cumin is often overlooked by many of my friends who make Chili.

Todd

TLK · 12-19-2004, 01:00 AM

The new Chunky Soup chili isn't too bad.... add some tabasco sauce and it's even better

Hi. You are no longer allowed to contribute to any food threads.

Chili can be a lot of things: with or without beans, with or without onions, with or without quite a few things BUT IT CAN'T BE WITHOUT MEAT!

SI

Ragone · 12-19-2004, 03:16 AM

I put Angel Hair Spaghetti in my chili.. it makes it last twice as long.. many many more servings outta it

I do this too, but now my GF says she wont eat chili with noodles in it...as "thats spaghetti". eh, no biggie, but boy the tupperware looks awfully wmpty now.

MizzouRah · 12-19-2004, 08:42 AM

Don't confuse Chili with a Chili Mac.

Put the spaghetti down on the plate first, top it with Chili, cheese, and onions. I also like to add a sauce VERY similar to Steak n Shakes. A combination of ketcup and worchishere sauce.

Mmmmm....

Todd

JeeberD · 12-19-2004, 12:11 PM

Wolf brand chili with LOTS of tabasco. Eat with tortilla chips or fritos.

Yum...

I've got a bit of a weakness for Frito Pie, myself. Fritos + Chili + Cheese = YUM!

SI

Noop · 12-19-2004, 12:42 PM

Chew the food, but have a wee bag or something and just spit it out.
Yummy flavours, no death via bad stomach.

I'm calling it the Yossarian Diet. Like atkins but NO CALORIES.
