Well, I found 2 - 1.5# packages of "CHILI grind" beef in the freezer... So... I made 1 batch and this is the second... the first was really good.....
I knew I had stuff in the pantry so a digging I went... Below is what I pulled out of the pantry for this batch... First batch did NOT have chili beans in it....
....click on pics to enlarge....
also....
a pinch of salt and black pepper, while browning the meat...
1 TBS mild chili powder
1 TBS mulatto chili powder
1 TBS ground garlic
1 TBS flour
1 TBS cumin
1 TBS Thai Red Curry powder
1 TBS molasses
This is my very weak attempt to make something that remotely resembles Foamheart's "Award Winning Chili".. Not having tasted Kevin's chili, I'm saying this is better.... LOL..
I'm simmering to marry the flavors... Let me say .... "This SCR wattage controller I'm using to control the heat is the best thing since SMF was started ".... The thermostat still works to stop the temp from going up... the SCR lowers the wattage of the heating element so the chili will simmer and bubble slowly and NOT burn the roux.... I threw the beans in because they were there.....
Chili without beans is very good.. with beans... it is what it is... The flavor is very good.... the seasonings in the "chili beans can" heated it up a bit.... AND the Thai Red curry powder added some heat... but it's nice heat... whatever that is....
This easy-peasy chili is pretty darn good...
....
...
CORN BREAD ...... double batch of course...... cream corn added to Jiffy mix... + the regular stuff... 3 each 9 x 5 bread pans with parchment in the bottom AND a sheet pan under to diffuse the heat so the bottoms won't get burned.... hopefully.... It's pretty wet so I will cook it longer.... maybe..... It's a little wet but maybe it will be perfect when it cools....
AND I had to show the oven... cleaned it yesterday...
OK folks... Thanks for lookin' .....
