Steve Butters Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't use onion just onion powder... And all peppers are fire roasted until charred black, then peel off the burnt skin for nice smokey peppers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Ok so here is what I came up with when I went shopping. The ingredients will include2lbs chuck roast1lb pork belly2 onions2 Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald portersA lot of fresh jalapeñoA shit ton of spicy beansA ton of chili powderA ton of cayenneA bunch of dried habanero Some diced tomatoesA tad bit of flourA tad bit of unsweetened cocoa I think that is everything. I wish I would've had time to do brisket instead but I figured the chuck will be an ok substitute for the this go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Where's the onions and bell peppers? There are no onions in mine either, not a fan of them and not needed IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Minced garlic bri. Gotta have it. If you put it in early it gets milder as it simmers, or add it late for a big garlic burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put it in early it gets milder as it simmers, or add it late for a big garlic burst.I did put some of that in as well. I was a little drunk when making it last night and put too much beer in so now I need to use some of the tips to thicken it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I find that if it tasted like it's missing something it's usually black pepper. Lol at too much beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the flavor of Tabasco chipotle pepper sauce, has such a nice smoky flavor.....yummy in chili. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I'm not going to bother with specifics there's lots of good recipes here already. Here's a couple tricks I use. Diced tomatoes. Get the garlic/basil ones. The cheap chili beans are the best. Also mix in black and kidney beans if you're making a big batch. I like chunky vegies in mine. Course onions and green and yellow peppers usually go in mine. I also don't cook them to mush. Spices- go to Penzey's and get their Cajun spice and Northwoods Fire. Jack Daniels spicy original BBQ sauce adds a nice spicy smokey flavor. Soy sauce can go a long way, use in addition to salt to bring out your spices. A tablespoon of butter can also richen up the flavor and make your heat "stick". A shot or two of whiskey is nice too. Be sure to sample the whiskey!

jporter12 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Man, I've seen lots of great ideas to add to my chili here! I'm going to have to make some soon! I noticed that many use diced tomatoes. I use Rotel and chop them very fine in a $10 chopper that I bought a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put that shit on everything! FWIW, i used some seasonal butternut squash in mine, makes a nice substitution for beans. Similar cooked texture but a very mellow flavor.

madcat6183 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 The one time I used a Tecate beer in chili I didn't think it had the right taste. It was overly heavy, think all the guys using lighter beers are on to something because the batch I made with that it was too obvious there was beer in it. I want to drink good beer with my chili, not smell the beer in the chili. Pretty stoked to get some chili made and get things handled.
