Chili

[BluegrassPoke]

I will tell you what chili is not, Chicken chili with navy beans. That is a soup, not chili. One of the milliniels that works for me was prepared to die on a hill with his chicken chili.

I've been using a recipe I stole off the mainboard for like 3 years now. LSUMARK's I believe. Need to try his gumbo recipe I have saved sometime. I don't want to smell the roux for a week though.....

I will have to try this. Sounds delicious.

Anyone have any good pork green chili recipes? I have really grown to like it a lot in recent years. We have zero family recipes so I'm flying blind for the most part.

Trapped, try this, you can use browned pork chops cut off the bone then diced or chicken: 1 large diced onion
4 cloves garlic
2 lbs meat, browned
3 cans navy or great northern beans
12 oz diced green chilies, fresh or canned, chopped frozen usually available in Co.
2 c chicken or pork stock , pork stock can come off bones from chops
1/3 c diced japs
2 t chili powder
1T cayene
1T cumin
1T hotsauce
1T L&P
1 16 oz can chopped tomato
Sautee onion and garlic in a little oil then throw all in crock pot

If you aren't into white beans try 1 c anasazi beans dry and 3 more cups of stock

This. My mother in law makes a killer soup that's centered around chicken, white beans, and green chilies. I regularly argue with my wife about whether it is soup or "white chili."

Worked at a school one time where the teachers would all bring something to eat and place it in the teacher's lounge one day a month. We had a teacher from either Wisconsin or Minnesota who brought her chili. I told her it was very good, but we call this vegetable beef soup where I'm from.

Just remember if you include beans it is NOT chili.

Everyone thinks their chili is the best chili.

I was about to post this very thing. All the homemade chili I have tried that was supposed to be the bomb has always been a disappointment.

Anyone tried brick?

 

[trapped_in_tx]

2lbs chuck tender roast cut into 1/4 cubes
6 Tbl chili powder
2tbl smoked paprika
4tsp Mexican oregano
2tbl cumin
1tsp salt
2 tsp cayenne (+ or - to your heat tolerance)
4 clove minced garlic
1 Med onion diced
8oz tomato sauce
1 large box beef stock
2 large boxes beef broth
2tbl Olive oil
1 pkg sazon goya (Mexican aisle at grocery)

Heat olive oil in large Dutch oven on stove
Brown meat in batches. Really get it caramelized. Remove from pot.

Add onion and cook until almost soft.

Add garlic and cook about 1 minute

Add meat back to the pot.

Add box of stock and as much broth as it takes to cover by around 2 inches.

Cook covered at a low boil for 1 hour.

Divide the spices in half for 2 “dumps”

At the one hour mark add your first dump and tomato sauce. cook covered for another hour and a half. Add broth as needed

After an hour and a half, add the second dump and your sazon. Remove lid and let it simmer 30 more minutes or more until the consistency is what you like. After about 15 minutes, taste for salt and add it if needed. I only use a tsp early on, because you never know how salty your particular brands of chili powder or broth are.

I often will hit it with a little more cumin right at the end, but remember it needs at least five minutes of cook time.

If you just have to have beans, do them with the last dump.

Enjoy

Hey @Onepokeovertheline - are those boxes of stock and broth the 32oz boxes? That's a lot of liquid so wanted to be certain.

Also, the sazon Goya - original (coriander and annatto)? There are others but I imagine this is the correct one and wanted to be sure.

I've always like the Carol Shelby's box for the seasoning. I add various things to that. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on what I add. Very easy. I have never tried adding sausage. It works well for Ron's Hamburgers. I'm not a bean eater normally. My wife loves a "pot of beans" and I turn my nose up at that. That being said, I have to put beans in my chili. I use a can of ranch beans and a can of red beans. Other than refried, its the only time I can think of that I eat beans.

My wife makes a great "white chili". It's spicy chicken soup with chili's but I'm not going to argue with her about that.

Years ago, I was in the Philadelphia area training when I was a drug rep. It was cold so for some stupid reason a bunch of us "southerners" decided we wanted chili. We went on a trip similar to Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (without the weed, cheetah or Neil Patrick Harris). To make a long story short, in 1984, there was no such thing as chili to be found in Radnor, PA. We had several versions of stew or vegetable beef soup.

Over the top smoked chili on my Egg. Once the meatball is smoked to perfection it is broken up/added to chili with some chopped brisket from a previous cook. Slap yo' mama good.

Yes and yes. You can obviously use water too. I just like the oomf the stock and broth give.

Anybody been to the Texas Chili Parlor near the capitol in Austin? I tried the hottest chili they have (the kind where you have to sign a waiver...). Couldn't talk for days, but it was so danged hot, but so danged good, and no gas afterward when surprised me. (I was expecting the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles....)

 

[WCPoke]

I am convinced I make the best chili. It is Texas inspired and Cincinnati infused. I have won every chili completion I have entered.

pork green chili (when someone can actually make it) is hard to beat. Seems to be a NM/CO thing.

 

[nathajw]

This is going to be my next BGE smoked chili cook. I may get after it this weekend, fair amount of work but damn it looks good.

 

[Alpha Poke]

If you just use chili powder you're doing it wrong.

Use the trinity and grind your own.

Add a little Mexican chocolate at the end.

Add your chilis in stages also.

 

[mlbailey]

I use multiple meats...chuck...robeye...brisket...course

 

[mlbailey]

I use multiple meats for the difference in textures...chuck...brisket...ribeye...course ground beef probably a healthy 60/40 I grind myself...short rib and the secret ingredient is sliced smoked bratwurst...it adds a smokey undertone....cost about $ 100.00 a gallon (blue)

Absolutely. Can get it at almost any Mexican restaurant here. Hatch green chili is so damn good when it's done right.
