Chili

My usual chili recipe is very similar to others with a few variations. I use roasted garlic (rub clove with olive oil stick in oven for 15 mins at 350). I'll roast the peppers on the grill before I cut them and toss them into the pot and I use ground turkey instead of beef (It's that cholesterol and fat thing). A cup of fresh orange juice. Not quite sure why I put it in there but everyone liked it.

ground turkey actually makes good chili and taco meat... especially at 89 cents a pound! Venison reigns though

Guess not...I'm even invitin' my sister over to help me too! Gonna let her hold the legs open whilst I put the beer in. Keepin' it in the family ya know.

(violating a chikin...insert 1/2 of a beer still in the can into the cavity of the chikin while roasting on a grill. Stand the chikin up resting on the bottom of the beer can. Keeps the chicken moist and tender. Oh yeah...drink the other half of the beer.)

Guess I'm a Yankee then because we've always had chili with beans... chili beans and kidney beans. I'll have to try Big Kahuna's recipe sometime. Think it would be ok to mix some venison in with the beef chuck??

In my opinion venison makes the best chili! Go for it!

As a result of this thread, I felt a pang of guilt seep in when I added the beans to my chili last night.......

But I guess that's okay since it's the same recipe I made for last year's Superbowl, and they asked me to bring it again for tomorrow's Patriots win!!


P.S. I guess Betty Crocker must've been a Yankee cuz it's her recipe!!

Don't forget to add a few tablespoons of honey or equivalent sweetner. Adds a taste that keeps everyone guessing. w or w/o beans.

Chili is one of my absolute favorite foods. I'm sharing my chili recipe... with the disclaimer being that the measurements listed are merely guestimates on my part since I never measure anything. Primarily because I learned to cook in a local deli that also did catering and made most items from scratch. The first thing I had to cook was a meatloaf... I freaked when I saw that the recipe only listed the ingredients and cooking instructions... but no measurements whatsoever. When I asked the owner's wife about the measurements... she couldn't tell anything other than we don't use measurements. So that is how I learned to cook... and also may be the reason why I'm such an awful baker (since more precise measurements are required). You southerner's will probably consider it Damn Yankee Chili because since my preference is to use beans... anyway, here it is...

Denise's Damn Yankee Chili
1 lbs ground beef
1 lbs hot italian sausage
1/2 lb bacon
Cook meat in large cast pan. Transfer meat to large cast iron pot or dutch oven. Reserve fat in frying pan to saute vegetables listed below in same large cast iron pan.
2 green bell peppers
2 red peppers
2 large yellow onions
1 bulb of garlic chopped
When vegetables are translucent, transfer into large cast iron pot/dutch oven with meat. Then add the following items to the large cast iron/dutch oven.
16 oz can crushed or pureed tomatoes
16 oz can whole tomatoes
3 cans (8 oz size) dark red kidney beans
1 small can of sliced jalepenos
1/2 cup red wine (use to rinse out cans)
8 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
3-4 shakes tabasco sauce (Red Hot,Texas Pete or similar pepper sauce)
2 squares Baker's bittersweet chocolate squares
Combine above ingredients with meat and vegetables mixture. Bring to a very slow boil (stirring on occasion so it doesn't stick to bottom of pot and burn), reduce heat and simmer stirring occasionally for 1-1/2 hours.

Denise's Damn Yankee Chili!
We are going to have to try it. Sounds delicious!
IMHO, chili has to have beans. This year we have been using a mix of ground venison and pork.
