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.

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

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 .... 🙂

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.

My original chili recipe.

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.

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

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

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

Mostly Denny's recipe, with alterations.

Spiced up McCormicks original recipe with a few fresh ideas of my own.

I have made this for years I do not measure any of the ingredients so it does vary batch to batch. Any left over can be put in freezer.
