Anybody have a good chili recipe?

What do you mean by fru fru?

Use garlic, onion, meat, chili powder, and add additional red pepper, cumin & oregano. Some people like to add beans (I do).

You can do more, like add chipotle (smoked paprika) or cook it over a wood fire.

with or without meat OP?

Texas Style Chili


4 1/2 lbs chili ground meat (Beef roast, pork or hamburg with fat content less than 10%)
6 Tablespoons chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Spanish Paprika
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Tablespoon Nutmeg
2 10oz cans diced tomatoes + green chilies
2 large onions, diced
6 gloves garlic, minced
1 7oz can Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, diced
Some Jalapeno peppers, diced
1 red bell pepper
2 14.5oz cans diced tomatoes
2 Tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 beers (your favorite)
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 cup water
Begin by browning the meat ia a large pot with 2 tablespoons chili powder. Drain the fat (leave a little for flavor) add the 2 beers, the rest of the chili powder, oregano, paprika, and nutmeg. Bring to a slow boil, than turn down to a simmer and add onion, garlic, chipotle, jalapeno, red pepper, tomatoes, lime juice, Rotel and some Sea salt. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.
Add sugar, whisk together corn meal and water, bring to a boil and stir in water/corn meal mix.Turn down to a simmer and stir until it thickens. You can adjust the amount of water/corn meal to make the way you like and also you can add your favorite hot sauce to kick it up a little.

No need for a recipe. Jalapenos come already made from nature.

i guess by fru fru i mean the ones where there is little to no sauce/juice. its kind of like chili lite. no substance.

Oops, I guess I forgot about tomatoes, oregano and masa flour for thickening, which I also use.

Your recipe looks good. I'll try it.

Oh, I know what you mean.

The texas chili recipe looks good. If you get a chance sometime, try cooking chili over a wood fire!

can opener, and a can of chili, still too hot to make it here the real way!

we been using this for around 5 years, ingredents dont have to be exact, tastes great and everyone seems to like it.

hand full of plain corn chips (stale is fine) in place of mazah

that's sounding pretty darn good. thank you.

i've never done that but would like to try it.

your welcome, enjoy, and post to let me know how you liked it

Lots of Jalapenos.

try going to allrecipes.com

You cant have a good chili recipe without homemade stewed tomato.

Do Not even attempt to make it with canned tomato or you will regret that mistake ALL NIGHT LONG.

Depends on, if I run over anything on the way home from the store

I have one, but it has a secret ingredient. People have been known to wake up in the middle of the night and raid the refridgerator.

why do you say that?

pot luck. lol

I have a great chili recipe but you must keep a fire extinguisher next to you at all times.

I dang near hit a tree with my truck, chasin last nites supper thru the ditch.

Because canned stewed tomato's are more rubbery then overcooked calamari.

You have to cook them down for hours before they break down.

And if you use diced canned tomato, you are cheating yourself out of the correct texture of a quality Chili.

1.5 lbs. ground beef

Brown with garlic powder and diced onions, to flavor. Drain.

Cover with chili powder and stir, cover with chili powder, stir, a couple times.

Add 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes, and any hot peppers you want, stir and bring to slight boil.

Add 2 packets of McCormick chili mix.

Add 1 12oz can of beer. Stir and bring to slow boil.

Add beans if you wish. Easy and different.

NUTMEG?!?!?! Not in Texas. LOL...
