CHILLI

[shadowsoftime]

Anybody have any great chill  receipes  without BEANS.

This is from the Mayberry Cookbook I got many years ago.
I cut up 2 Hillshire Farms smoked sausages and add to mine
in addition to the list. I like the kidney beans ( Wife doesn't ) 
so skip the beans and add extra tomato sauce to make up for
the liquid in the beans. I break the ingredients down to make
only 1/4 of this. The whole recipe will feed an Army. Best Chili
I have ever had. A cake of cornbread and some sweet ice tea
makes a good meal.

When I saw "Serves 24" - yeah you're right - cut by at least half and maybe only 1/4 for smaller households. Otherwise - looks pretty good.

Whatever recipe you find try using beef shanks diced up (like stew meat cubes or smaller) or a very coarse grind ground beef. (see your local meat shop) instead of a fine ground beef.

You can make chili without meat. But is it really chili without beans? Kinda like a hamburger with no meat or nachos with no cheese.

"You can make chili without meat"  not at my house you can't

Recipe for chili?  Isn't it...

-ground meat
-some tomato stuff...paste, sauce, spaghetti sauce, ketchup, doesn't matter.
-whatever is leftover in the fridge...corn, sure. Peas, why not. Macaroni, yep.
-a dash of whatever spices you can find in the rack. Mostly the reddish ones.

I gotta agree with you on the beans though. Not because I don't like them. But because people don't like me when I eat them.

Winner winner chili dinner right there.

       Living by ones self has its advantages. I can rattle the windows and flutter the curtains and no one to call me on the dastardly deed!   Course I have had to step outside a time or three afterwards.   I just take canned chili and doctor it it some-jalapeno cheddar cheese red raw onions garlic crushed dried red peppers fresh ground black pepper and a decent shake of chili powder and tortilla chips or crackers with the chili. If I'm in the baking frame of thought-sweet corn bread with the chili. Sometimes I toast the 12 grain bread I have to go with the chili. Green tea or milk or beer to help wash the chili down. RIDE SAFE.

Where I come from, one uses pork, shredded, not beef in chilli.

  Yep. First time I cooked it I did the whole thing.
Chili leftovers and a whole lot in the freezer. Old Barn 
must have had the whole town over for supper..

I always thought "REAL" chili had no beans.

There’s a saying in Texas: “If you know beans about chili, you know chili ain’t got no beans.”

The Daily Meal: There Are No Beans in Real Chili: Just Ask a Texan, 10/02/17

That said, I'm in Indiana and I always add beans to my chili.

[Moonshot_1]

So does this mean if chili has beans it is not real chili but synthetic chili? So do we want recipes for synthetic chili or real chili?

It is said the synthetic chili gives better gas mileage. So it is better for the climate. Or is it that it makes more gas that is worse for the Climate?

Can synthetic chili save the Planet? Let's give some to that Greta gal to find out.

  Chili is like stew. Put in it what you want.  Soup is the same , we never make it the same twice.

True dat. Take any suggestions presented as ideas, and have fun experimenting with what you like.
Our chili recipe  -
1 pound ground beef / turkey (low fat is best)
28 oz Tomato Juice
4 cans kidney beans (or close relatives) - we usually do dark and light kidney beans, black beans and white cannoles
1 medium onion, chopped
garlic
seasonings
3 tablespoons red adobo powder
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon oregano
salt, pepper, and something spicy to taste

Chop onion, add garlic and ground meat and brown. Salt / pepper while browning meat.
Add tomatoe juice to crock pot,
add beans,
add seasonings.

Stir up well, start crockpot on high, after an hour  or so, lower to low, cook for 3-5 hours. Stir well before serving, taste/ check seasonings. Open crock pot lid to boil off excess liquid
Also works good served over cooked pasta (speghetti most popular here), with fresh chopped onion and shredded cheese (mexican blend or cheddar)

serves ~6 or so, depending on how hungry they are.

Could try cooking in pot on stove top, or maybe even in a pressure cooker.

I add extra beans to my chili and extra hamburger. Chili is always better reheated the next day.

[Highbinder]

We usually make about 3 gal. , then seal what is left over in serving portions and freeze for future meals when we're in a no cook mood. I perfer beef or deer meat..sometimes beans, sometimes not.  All home made sauces and peppers, cumin, very rarely do I we use chili powder.

[RP#62]

It depends on what kind of chili you're making.  If its eatin' chili, i.e. chili to be eaten by itself, you put beans in it.  If its condiment chili, i.e. chili you put on hot dogs a la chili dog, you don't put beans in it.  My wife has a good chili recipe.  I don't know what all is in it, but I know she puts beer, some chocolate or cocoa and maybe a few old nails (not sure about the nails though, she could be pulling my leg).

I thought chili came from the old cowboy chuck wagon days. They ate lots of beans. Think Blazing saddles. Throw all the left overs in a pot. Something smells spoiled Throw some chili powder in there. It'll cover the smell and taste. I use hamburger, ground pork or both. Beans and very little tomato of any type. Mine's usually fairly mild.

In the scene in Blazing Saddles they were not eating chili, just beans. I know I'm being technical here, but  it is essential that this is established so we can have a ruling on the question of "Do you put beans in chili or chili in the beans"? And does putting beans and chili together make synthetic chili since some say real chili has no beans?

[cookiedough]

since beef is pretty costly nowadays,  we have used a lot of chunks of chicken breasts cut up into bigger chunks.  It really does give a whole new taste over hamburger/beef and we seem to like it better.   I also add a lot of corn and top it off with your liking of melting shredded cheese on top.    chicken chili with corn and cheese - yummy!

[Jess from VA]

My favorite way to eat chili is on chili dogs.  Good dogs and buns, bean-less chili, chopped Videlia onion, and mustard, maybe a bit of cheese. (NO sauerkraut).

Three of those and a 3-6 good beers, and you can make enough hi-octane methane to blow your house up (or get served divorce papers).  

For the divorce papers, you save up some awesome gas until after you and the wife go to bed, wait 5 minutes and then carefully let out the silent-but-deadly under the covers.  Memorable fun. (if the wife keeps a club on her side of the bed, remove beforehand)

If you added the beans to your bean-less chili,  the divorce papers might come to you faster,  just a thought....

Chili without beans ?  NOPE !

[Skinhead]

Chili, with or without beans, both are acceptable to me.  I like my chili with raw, diced onion, cheese, sliced jalapenos, and a dab of sour cream.  On hot dogs, bean or beanless chili, diced raw onion, cheese, sauerkraut, horseradish, yellow mustard.  I'm making myself hungry.

Almost sounds like the recipe for chemical warfare! Sounds pretty good though.

Brown the following together:

2lbs. 85/15 ground beef
1 small yellow onion chopped
1 heaping TSP of cumin,chili powder, and garlic powder

Drain liquid afterwords.

Blend (in a blender) 3 cans (15 oz.) of any variants of Red Gold flavored tomatoes
as they have many with one heaping TSP of cocoa.

3 cans (15oz.) of Bush's chili ready beans. I like the medium the best.

Combine and simmer an hour or so keeping close attention no to scorch. Crock works good on low uncovered stirring occasionally.

I use Kosher salt a pinch at a time to taste.

I made some Carroll Shelby Chili last night, best so far but nothing to crow about.
Saw a pic of Texas red chili, mouth watering, no beans or tomatoes, with chuck roast,spices and lots of different chili's. Had a red glow to it,looked really good.
