Chilli

I have family over and I made chilli. Also, ground beef is hard to find right now and the only thing we could find at the store was this beef and steak. Ground beef had a limit on it of 3 lbs. So, we got a little creative.

The whole family loved it!

Soooooo yummy :)

This is one of my favorites to eat on a cold day ... you can enjoy it by itself or over nacho chips or with toast lots of thing you can do with chili .... 🙂

yummmy :hungry good and hearty on a cold day or night

This is a go-to dinner option. We always make a tray of cornbread to go with it.

This recipe was modified from serious eats. I use coarsely ground chuck instead of short ribs as it's less work and you dont have to pick through bones and chop hot meat. You can substitute 1/2 cup chile powder for the whole chiles, but you'll lose complexity. Quality dried chiles will be pliable and bend. You can also use 3 15oz cans of beans instead of dried, but they wont have as good of texture. Finally, if you have the time/space, you can add the beans directly to the chili base with 2 cups additional water and cook them in the sauce 2-4 hours in an oven at 225 F for wonderfully flavorful beans.

Great chili recipe that can be made stove top or in crockpot. Crockpot is highly recommended!

It's Bears football game day & it's time to make Chili!

Mostly Denny's recipe, with alterations.

I found this recipe on the Internet. It has a very balanced taste. Not overly hot nor overly sweet. This is the best chili I’ve had in a long time.

Adjust seasonings to personal liking, can be spicy if followed exactly.

My original chili recipe.
