Chili

[gmc2003]

Well I started this cook yesterday, and finished it up today by making a nice pot of chili with that chuckie I smoked.

I started out by cubing up that chuckie and adding some rib roast cube that I had cooked earlier this summer:

Then I had to choose some peppers that Peter Piper picked. Before he pickled them. I'm not a pepper aficionado but the package said hot.

a small sampling of what I used. A couple are missing after I decided it wasn't enough.

I minced half the peppers and tossed the other half into my food processor. Then i pulsed them until they had a relish consistency. Also added were half an onion(same treatment as the peppers), can each of tomato paste, and petite diced, cumin, chili powder, beef broth, garlic and a little over a pound of ground beef.

Into the frying pan they go:

Heat it up on low, stirring occasionally until you get the desired thickness.

Then into the crock pot and add the rest of the meat: I let this cook for about 6 hrs. Until the cubed meat was tender.

Bowl #1

Bowl #1 shredded cheddar added.

Second verse was the same as the first, and now I'm full. Thanks for hanging with me.

But I like mine with cheese and crackers please!

Looks fantastic, Chris. I use straight cubed beef for chili anymore ...... we all like it better here at home.

Thanks Rich, Our heat wave really broke a couple of weeks or so ago. It's still hot, but not too hot. Now if the dang rain would only stop. A bowl of good homemade soup sounds really good. I'm gonna have to give the wife a couple of subtle hints.

I'm in for a nice big bowl of your chili, looks and sounds great

Appreciate it David, It's chili time when the freezer fix'ins are there. Basically a no out of pocket cost meal between what's in the freezer and on the pantry shelf.

Thanks Ray, I love cheese on top of my chili. We have it two sometimes three times a year. It all depends on whats in the freezer.

Appreciate it Doug. I prefer cubed beef also, but I had to backfill with some ground beef this time. Not enough steak to make it thick.

Heck yeah Chris. That is a bowl full of yumm right there. Those assorted chilies look like habanero, Serrano and some variety of pequin or “small” but usually pretty warm, all in all I’d say it had plenty of heat. Nice work.

 

[jaxgatorz]

I'd eat a couple bowls of that any day !!

 

[jcam222]

Looks delicious! Looks like you got some Thai, serrano and have, should have a nice little kick.

Thanks Edge, The heat index wasn't as high as I was hoping for, but it did have a good bit of afterburner. I think I managed to help it along with tossing them into the food processor seeds and all. The liquid and smallish pieces distributed well throughout the whole pot of chili.Also thanks for the identification. I a newb when it comes to chili's.

I'd eat a couple bowls of that any day !!

Appreciate it Mike. It was a good belly filler.

Thanks Jeff, it had some kick, but not what I was expecting. I may add some cayenne powder to what's left. Just to juice it up a bit.
