Chili Recipe?

[ozark rt]

Do any of you fine and distinguished people have a good chili recipe you would be willing to share? With the coming of cooler weather I am starting to get a hankering for a pot of that delectable southwestern sauce. My problem is that I do not have any good tried and true recipes for chili, but rather having to resort to the package stuff. I can eat that stuff but would rather have a bowl of the good stuff. So how about helpin a brother out.

I have one I use. I'll put it together and send it to you. You won't need the packaged stuff, but in reality, it makes a great starter.

Here is a link to a Chile Verde recipe that was posted by Soflaquer. Great for using left over brisket.

Find some Williams Chili Seasoning. AG stores carry it, should be in your area.

Chris, I still get e-mail from Jeff from time to time. I belive retired from the fire department and his full time job has been keeping him busy. I'll shoot him another e-mule though and see how he's doing.

dutch, thanks. i asked another member, via PM, and he didn't know anything. i PM'd the boss (TulsaJeff), but haven't gotten a reply.

Thanks Mike, Williams is the package stuff I use but I didn't realize they had a recipe site. I'll go check it out.

Dutch's post regarding Soflquer's recipe is the best I have ever made. It's all from scratch and is indeed delicious.

Here in Topeka we have a placed called Porubsky's. It is a grocery store that sells chili during certain times of the year. I pulled this recipe from the internet that is modeled very closely to their chili.

It is a very meaty chili. Hope you like it that way. No fufu stuff like mushrooms or tofu. Just meat, beans, spices and tomato stuffs. If you ask me, it is fabulous.

And make the spicy pickle recipe too. They will drain your sinuses for you, but go damn well chopped and on top of the chili.

Chili con Carne

6 dried Ancho chilies(stems and seeds removed)
6 dried New Mexican chilies(stems and seeds removed)
2 tsp Cayenne
1lb beef (chunck)
1lb coarse ground beef
1lb coarse ground pork
2 onions chopped
1tbs chopped garlic
1 tbs Cumin
1 tbs Oregano
1 tsp sugar
1 C Tomato Sauce
3 C Beef Broth

Cover Chiles with hot water and let sit for 15 min. In a blender place chiles and water and blend till smooth.
Saute the meat until browned. Add onions and garlic, cook for 10 min.
Stir in cumin, oregano, tomato sauce and the broth and simmer for an hour.
Add pureed chile paste and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Add ground Cayenne to increase heat and add water if necessary.

Serve with coleslaw, corn bread and honey butter.

I changed a few things to this recipe. such as the meat. I added in a lb of chunked meat. Gives some different textures. I like to use 4 cups broth using the additional cup to soak the chiles in instead of the water. I also like to serve this over rice.
Forget using chili powder again. All the chili flavor comes from the dried chiles. Use the cayenne to bring the heat up since anchos and new mexicos are not spicy at all. (this dish is safe for family members that don't like spicy food. add your heat individually.)
Its an easy recipe to do yet gives a great chili flavor. I get requests for this quite often.

Thanks AJ & Vlap, both of those look very promising.

I used to love my chilli until I made SoFlaQers it is awsome! You have to try it!

Thank you for starting this thread, I have a decent recipe that is either off the hook or bottom of the charts. My biggest problem is I never measure or write down anything down. My last biggest change was adding more and more BEEF and cutting back on the beans. The several cans of tomatoes crushed, stewed, chopped, Bushes chili beans (6lb can) one large can of Brooks chili beans. Brown Sugar, then the chili powder and spices start.

With surprise ingredients like beer and unsweetened cocoa, the blend of seasonings and flavors creates a mouth watering chili that will have them begging for the recipe.
