untateve Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 and I've never been so disappointed. I tried about 15 different chilis and there was not one good one in the bunch. I voted for the least worst. There was essentially no heat and no depth of flavor. Bland ruled the day. One of the chilis had f'n pasta in it! I got info on who runs this cook-off and I've decided to enter next year. It's time to hip the world to my chili mojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untateve Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 You got a recipe for your chili? I don't have a good chili recipe and could use a good one here in fristy GB My general recipe, but I change things around depending on my mood and who I'm serving. 2 lbs pork roast -- cut into 1" pieces 2 lbs cheap ground beef 1/2 cup GOOD chile powder (go to a mexican store if you can) 1 HUGE onion -- roughly chopped 1 head garlic -- minced (I like a lot of garlic 8 New Mexican green chiles -- roasted, peeled, seeded, chopped. I add other chiles (e.g., jalepeno as well, depending on how much heat I want) 1 Tbl hot Hungarian paprika 1 Tbl ground cumin 4 beef boullion cubes 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes About 1/2 bottle dark beer/stout 1/4 cup bourbon 2 squares bitter baker's chocolate -- Don't leave this out Salt to taste Sautee 1/4 of the garlic and onions until translucent. Add 1/4 of the meat, chile powder and brown. Salt the meat while cooking. Put into your chili pot. You can use a dutch oven or I use a crock pot and let it cook all day. Repeat until all the meat is done. If you're in a hurry, you can simply let everything simmer for an hour and then serve. I think the flavor is better when it cooks for hours (on low) in a crock pot. Again, sometimes I throw in different herbs/spices. The amounts in the recipe are only a guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
