Couple Different Chili's On a Cool Weekend

[SmokinVOLfan]

Oh man I’ll take a bowl. I need to make some more chili soon

Never gets old! Bout time for me to make another batch!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Wow John...both of those look REALLY good!! I'll take 2 huge bows of the Texas chili, one huge bowl of the turkey version....and some corn bread please. Excellent job buddy. I've done a very similar chili as your Texas version and it takes a considerable amount of time and work. Well worth it in the end though. Great job my friend.

Robert

Thanks Robert! That beef chili took quite awhile but as well worth it in the end! I was actually going to make corn bread for this and I had forgotten until about 5 minutes before all of this was done. Said screw it and rolled no corn bread but def on the menu for next time.

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Looks delicious! Had to be tasty, especially in cool weather! We never have corn chips on hand so I'm usually stuck with crackers but I'd gladly go for a bowl of each.

Ryan

Thanks Ryan! Def got to hit the fritos and stash them away for the next chili day!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Oh man.........I'm with @txsmoker some cornbread and a good cold beer and I could tear up some of that chili! Looks good.
Jim

Thanks Jim! Cornbread is def on the menu for the next time which I don't think will be so long per my wife!

Nothing wrong with a frito pie. Both look good. Jake has a recipe that is now my go to.

I got to try Jake's out here pretty soon. Believe I saved the recipe when I saw it.

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Looks real good John! Especially the beef chili! I may have to try that recipe!

You got to try out the beef chili. Takes some time but well worth it in the end. Just double or triple up the recipe!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Looks bomb john. Love the color of it. I'm a fritos in the bottom of the bowl kinda guy myselfView attachment 481403

Thanks Jake. Hell yeah man you got to have fritos and cold beer. The color on that beef chili is insane. Give it a try when you get some time!

Definitely going to give it a try. I know I have guajillo pepper but I'll have to get some arbol.

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

John those both look delicious!! That sauce made with the guajillo and Arbol can be used in many Mexican style dishes for sure. I love it. The turkey chili look out of this world good too.

Thanks Jeff! I plan to make a batch and keep it on hand for Mexican dishes. Tacos, Quesadillas, and Chinchillas

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Great minds and all. I had a tri tip thawed that I had to use so some Texas Red Chili was called for. Good stuff.

I can never get my hands on a tri tip otherwise would love to try it with that!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

The chili looks awesome but that is most definitely not a beer by any means.

Lol. Cold beer is cold beer as long as it doesn't have the word Ice in the title

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Looks excellant John

Thanks Jim!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Both look great. Gotta try Chili with Cornbread. We usually eat Chili and Toppings, by the bowl, over Rice or even Cincinnati Style, over Spaghetti. My recipe pretty much combines the two. Beef Chucks and Ground Beef. Only two of us like beans so an hour into the cook, I ladle off a couple of cups of the Chili Gravy into a pot of drained, canned Pinto or other, Beans and let that simmer until the beans are very tender and the gravy is thick...JJ

Thanks Jimmy. Your chili sounds great!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Wow, what a wonderful piece of work John, big Like! That beef chili with the Fritos and sour cream would really warm up the heart on a cold day, turkey looks great also, nice job! RAY

Appreciate it Ray!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

John both chili’s look absolutely awesome and a bowl is sorely needed on this frigid day! Very nicely done.

Thanks Joe! It def warmed up the belly for sure!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Those look like some Mighty Tasty Warm-ups!!
I'd love to sample them both!!
Like.

Bear

Thanks Bear! Would probably be great to have on a cold PA day!

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Definitely going to give it a try. I know I have guajillo pepper but I'll have to get some arbol.

I am sure you could go with just the guajillo's. I just threw the arbol's in there because I had them on hand and I think they give it a little more heat than just the guajillo's. Either way I don't think you can go wrong!
