Lazy Chili
I think it's hard to screw up chili, but if you want to do some good easy chili
1lb ground beef. 2 cans chili beans 1 jar of fav salsa 1 can of a flavored diced tomatoes (they make so many I mix it up). Or even like a rotel. (or another jar of salsa) Some tomato juice, I like V8. 1 onion 1 can of mushrooms, or some fresh chili powder to taste cayenne to heat taste what ever else you seem to like. Easy. Dump cans of everything in a pot and start to simmer. Chop and cook onions and shrooms down in some butter to desired tenderness. Should season with some salt and chili powder. Cook ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder. You can add the cayenne at any step depending how you like the heat. Dump all in the pot. Simmer. Add the V8/juice till desired consistency. Some like it more soupy, some thicker. You'll likely not need much. Add chili powder in increments till ya get a nice chili flavor. Add more cayenne or any heat source to the pot and keep simmering for awhile, the more the merry. I like some cheese and crackers on top, good to go. :cheers: Welcome Fall :D I vary all steps. Never made the same chili twice :lol: |
I have always made my chili with top round steak cut into 1/2 " squares,with two types of kidney beans light & dark,one can of corn,mushrooms and a can of beer ,two cans of sauce and a little garlic salt.

I like a chunky salsa: http://www.bloomingtonneeds.com/imag...tos_medium.jpg Some chili beans, I usually use: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Plain diced tomatoes are fine, but always looking for flavor: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Or you could use this, a bit more spicy (or both for that matter) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...A300_SH20_.jpg I like some mushrooms, any brand will do but I like these: http://www.ehomedelivery.com/shop/me...7047506404.jpg If you use fresh, they should be sauteed first with some butter. A little juice for consistency. Much of the canned ingredients does provide a lot of liquid, so you might not need much. http://lancastria.net/blog/wp-conten...-veg-juice.jpg brown the ground beef and cook the onions down as far as you like. Drain the greese. Dump all of the above in a pot and simmer. Of course a good bit of this to pull it together as a chili: http://www.mccormick.com/~/media/Ima...1oz.ashx?w=225 Slowly some of this for heat if you like: http://www.mccormick.com/~/media/Ima...per.ashx?w=225 I'm going to make some soon, so I'll try to post pics of the finished product. :cheers: |

I forgot about beer, I've done that before as well. The fun thing about chili is you can't screw it up too bad and it's fun to experiment with :cheers: |
I'm getting the ingredients now to make this.

Surely you ain't having trouble with "flavored diced tomatoes"! This rather mundane post regarding chili recipes has morphed into one of the most fecked up thread in weeks. Is it because it is a Spenser thread/ Is it because Cybercowboy is involved. What is happening here? |
HHHhhhmmmmm, i must try it!!!!:)
|
Very easy, and of late, I've changed to more fresh ingredients. :D
|
seems pretty good...
