well... the chili is pretty good...
just the right amount of cayenne pepper
but the chili powder was old so there isn't alot of "chili" flavor
the meat is outstanding

turtle I had to add the tomatoes as a concession to Debbie and her Mom.

I had to do that for years until I finally made a batch without and slipped it in on her.  She loved it, even after I told her that no tomatoes were harmed in the cook.  We're done with that particular disgusting requirement. 

Now if I could only get her educated about eating beans with chili, not in it.  Prolly have to continue biting that particular bullet forever but I at least got to the point where I make the beans separately (like I'm supposed to) and then mix them in with her portion.

I have to admit that when Mama makes Chili she calls them "Chili Beans" because you know what is in them.

For you guys that love good chili, try Instant Gourmets Grande Southwest. I can post the recipe that won several awards in Texas Chili cookoffs over 10 years ago.  No Beans!  Cubed beef and not hamburger.  Let it set over night.  So good. www.instantgourmetspices.com  Merry Christmas all.  Phil

capt. jack.   
                  as i suspected someone always makes a comment about how chili is supposed to be made. when that happens i usually say we arn't in Texas........i suppose most people are used to having chili  with beans and tomatoes in this area......i have been in competitions that dont allow beans and sometmes i have found their chili lacking in substance and layers of flavor........if ingredients are used in proper portions all chili's are good ......some tastes are regional . i have used corn in chili in competition and have done very well .i cooked in a comp. last year and used corn, tomatoes and beans and folks from Texas and New Mexico just raved about it ,so i guess if in tastes good folks will like it no matter what.......i personally just love a good bowl of red anytime.....and i like the different ways it can be made.........no matter whats supposed to be in it...

Tastes vary for sure Bill...
I grew up in Texas and the edge of Louisiana, and just the variety of BBQ in those regions is interesting. I have a friend, born and raised in the Bronx that makes the best all around chili - that anybody can eat ( because it is not fiery hot) - and it is full of beans.

Chili - like BBQ as well as religion and politics is truly a personal experience - that sometimes others want to share. ( Just no sharing of religion and politics on the forum - thank you very much ;) ;D

Living in NC - I have come to love pulled pork, but I never had any of it - or heard of it until I came here.

I think like many other foods, chili is one of those "comfort" foods that has to be a certain way because it's how we remember it as a kid - and it is as much a memory stimulus as it is a food.

But, in Texas - You open the door for ladies, you don't talk bad of John Wayne, and you don't put beans in the chili. ;) ;D

Remember that the Grande Southwest is the magic in the recipe.

Blue Ribbon Chili

2lbs. boneless chuck .. 1 onion, chopped .. 4 garlic cloves, diced .. 6 TBS. Grande Southwest .. 1 14.5oz can chopped tomatoes .. 1 15 oz can tomato sauce .. Low-sodium chicken broth .. Grated cheddar/jack cheese

Cut chuck into small cubes and brown.  Saute onion and garlic cloves.  Combine chuck, onion,garlic, Grande Southwest, chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce in large pot.  Add chicken broth to desired consistency.  Simmer uncovered for at lest 4 hours, stirring often.  Refrigerate overnight.  Serve as desired with grated cheese and chopped onions on top.

I put all the wet ingredients in a large pot and saute in a large skillet, adding to the pot as it's done.  It's really good.  Phil

Most folks agree chili was originally a (mid-19th century Texas) trail cook dish made of a sort of pemmican rehydrated in water.  It consisted generally of meat, suet, and chiles dried and pounded together into "bricks" with some other herbs and spices thrown in.  No beans.  No tomatoes.  That doesn't mean that beans and tomatoes don't make a nice dish for them as likes it that way but if I'm going to call it "chili" I prefer closer to the original concept.

You are right smoke. And I hope we get another good cow poke flick from Clint Eastwood before he checks out.
