Note: Working with jalapeños or other chiles: Capsaicin is the ingredient
in chiles that causes the burning sensation associated with fresh peppers.
It's a good idea to use rubber gloves when handling fresh chiles.  If you
choose not to use gloves, be extremely careful not to touch any part of
your body, especially your penis or eyes.2 pounds round steak, diced
1 pound ground pork
5 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
7 tablespoons chili powder
2 green chili peppers, seeded and chopped (see note)
3 (15-ounce) cans whole tomatoes

Not sure if you were talking about "Cincinnati Chili" (given your
alias), but the thread made me wonder - isn't there a specific style of
chili in Cincy that uses a can of beer? I always knew of Chili with
beer in it as being referred to as Cincinatti Style. A decent bottle
of lager seems to add a nice flavor to a pot of good chili. I also for
some reason recall that people there sometimes serve chili on spaghetti
- is that right?

Yes, chili spaghetti and chili dogs are very popular here.....especially
the chili spaghetti which you can't really find in most places. I'm not
sure about the berr though.....the chili on the spaghetti is pretty
runny...

Why would you touch your penis while in the middle of making chile? I
mean I can understand touching your penis while playing poker, driving,
actually in most circumstances, but when cooking? I'm not sure I get
that.

I used to cook and shuck in a dive oyster bar, I occasionally had to
urinate, I washed my hands before and after. When I was a kid my parents
had a big Mex-Tex theme party, I took care of the jaloenos, from a big
gallon can, with about 1/8 inch of greasey stuff on the surface. About an
hour after this I rubbed my eyes, pretty funny now, but being blind and in
pain for a half hour wasn't too funny then, for me at least, my brothers
and sisters thought it was hilarious.

This thread has me considering chili for SB Sunday, although the Pats
are undefeated in playoff games where I've made meatball subs. May be
best not to tamper with that. I'd hate to be responsible for that kind
of impact.

You should make the switch then. You don't want to ruin your perfect
record for the subs.

I sense Residual Tuck Rule Hostility. Let go of your anger. Or, if
you'd rather, I'll take your wager. You can't honestly believe its
more likely than not that the Patriots will lose. I give Philly more
credit than most Pats fans, but I still expect the better team to win.
The Pats played a tougher schedule more convincingly this season. No
reason to expect the wheels to fall off now.

It could be some leftover hostility from the biggest screwing in NFL
playoff history. Regardless, I already put my money where my mouth is. I
took Philly on the money line for +225.

for the guys. Thanks.
Get out your food processor and crock pot.

I usually cook to taste, but besides your tomato base (I usually use a
few 8oz tomato paste cans--the little ones--and two or three diced
tomatos), meat, optional beans---I've heard that true chili does not
have beans, but I like a Pinto/Black bean combo myself---and
chili-fixins (you can usually get those over the counter and they're
not too bad), my key ingredients are:

Fresh jalapeno peppers, habanero chilis, those little red chilis that I
can't remember what they're called but are available in the mexican
foods section of your local grocer, onions, cilantro and cayenne
pepper. If you're daring, throw a clove of garlic in as well.

I usually mix the tomato paste, water, chili-fixins, cilantro, peppers
and a wee-but of salt into the food processor and blend it until it the
peppers are minced. You can taste it periodically to see if you need
to add more peppers. While tasting, you won't have a full-bodied
flavor to work with, so it takes a bit of imagination to guess how it
will taste after it's been cooked. As a general rule, I usually use
3-4 full jalapenos per 8oz tomato paste. The more potent peppers you
have to be careful with, unless you're me, then the more the better.
Once you're satisfied, add your cayenne pepper and mix it in. The
cayenne pepper should add some heat to the chili spice mixture, but the
taste should reside just behind it in flavor...It should compliment the
chili mix, not overpower it. Generally, I use a spoonful of cayenne
for every 6 spoons of chili mix (or thereabouts).

Out of the food processor, the color should be a burnt brown color, not
red, with lots of little green specks (jalapenos) and white specks
(onion) mixed throughout. Your red peppers should blend into the
color.

Then, I throw everything into a crock-pot and cook it overnight on low.

The next day, I turn off the heat, put some sugar in it (not a lot) and
pour in about an 8oz cup of tequila, stir it well and let it sit for
the day.

Then, about two hours before meal time, I crank the crock-pot up to
high and bring it to a bubbling boil and serve. It's a little harsh on
the first day, but it gets smoother the next day.

One of the keys, though, is you don't want it to be too soupy. I like
my chili to be somewhat firm, so throw in some masa flour if it's too
soupy. Use only a spoonful at a time because a little masa goes a long
way.

If you don't have a food processor, you can mince your peppers with a
grater, but wear gloves! You will get burned from the juices (and make
sure those juices get put in the mixture, too). And, whatever you do,
DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES! (Been there, done that).

If you don't have a crock pot, you can bake it in an oven crock for the
same effect. I usually shoot for about 350 degrees for a good 2-3
hours or so. Again, it's a taste thing. Some people prefer it to be
cooked on the stove in a pot, but I prefer baking as it boils the water
off nicely.

Anyway, this is a start. Try it, be creative, and find out what works
for you. Always remember, you can't fuck up chili, so don't worry.

Of course you can fuck up chili. And the best way to start fucking it up
is by adding beans.

After adding three types of chilies, one of them the hottest son's a
bitches on the planet, plus cayenne pepper, you have the nerve to say "if
you're daring" when talking about garlic?!?
Haha....You got me there!

But, I personally don't think garlic works well in chili. That's just
me, and why I mentioned it as "daring." But I know others who like it,
so go for it.

I must say, though, one guy in this thread mentioned putting 2-10!
cloves of garlic. I had to laugh at that because it reminded me of the
first time I dabbled in pasta sauce. Working from a recipe, it called
for 2 cloves of chopped garlic...Not knowing what a "clove" was,
specifically, I proceeded to chop two full bulbs of garlic. Looking at
the mountain of chopped garlic I'd created, I felt some fear, but said
"WTF, the recipe says so, so who am I to question it?" So, in the pot
it went. I let it cook overnight and couldn't wait until the next
morning to do the first taste test. Lifting the cover off the crock
pot was a little bit like a grenade going off...Blew me across the
room.

All attempts to weaken it by dilution were futile. The meat was
permeated with garlic. It was awful.

We barbecued some steaks for dinner that night instead.

Ok, I understand your point. I like a little bit of garlic, one clove
finely chopped in my 6 qt. dutch oven full is enough. You don't want to
overpower the flavor of the meat, but a small bit gives it just that
little something. As far as chilies go, I personally use a mix of fresh
jalepeno and poblano chilies, along with cayenne pepper, then for a
little of that "cooked over a camp fire" flavor, I'll add a few finely
chopped chipotle peppers. I prefer the canned ones, because you can also
add a bit of the adobo sauce to fire it up even more. It gives your
chili just a tiny bit of smoky flavor, which is a nice change of pace
from what you usually find. For thickening I also prefer masa, but if
you don't have that and you're in a bind, I've found that some crushed
tortilla chips will thicken it up and give the same corn flavor as the
masa. You just have to cut back on the salt a bit in the original recipe
as the tortilla's will be quite salty.

First, check your supermarket and see if they have any Wick Fowler's
Chili Mix. It's based on his cookoff-winning recipe. -- I have yet to
come up with a better recipe.

If you can't find it, here's how I'd proceed (some of this is true even
if you're using Wick Fowler's ). The instructions are basically the
same he provides with his mix. The seasonings are close to what Fowler
uses.

* Meat: beef. Acceptable alternatives: bison, venison, elk. Anything
else isn't chili. Buy a naturally lean cut, about 2-3 pounds worth and
have it COARSE ground, or chop it yourself by hand into sugar-cube size
pieces. Ground meat tends to make milder chili, BTW. Good cuts are rump
roast and top sirloin.

* Brown the meat in your pot. If it gives off much fat, pour off the
fat before adding the rest of the stuff.

* Add a small onion, chopped fine, and a couple of minced garlic
cloves.
* Add an 8oz can of tomato sauce and 2 cans of water.
* Add the following spices: 1/4 cup dark chili powder, 1sp ground
oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tbl paprika, salt to taste.

Cover and simmer slowly about 40 min, stirring occasionally.

Now add the hot pepper -- ground Cayenne pepper. That's where you'll
get the real heat. For this size recipe, about 1 or 2 tsp. This is also
the time to add a thickener if you want your chili thicker. My
preferred is "masa harina" (a special corn flour used in Mexican
cooking) made into a paste with some hot water -- about 2 tbl worth. If
you can't get that, then another alternative is to puree about a
half-can of chili beans or red kidney beans and stir that in.

Cover and simmer another half hour or so.

I like this recipe best when cooked the day before, but it's good right
away, too.

Beer

put the diced stuff in some cups on the table
open the franks

Here is a relatively easy and very good chili recipe...

1 package of pot roast
1 large can of tomato puree
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 package of "california chili" (in spice section, or possibly hispanic
section of market).
1 large "sweet" onion
1 bottle of stout (guiness works)...
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 cup of oil

Cut pot roast into 1 inch cubes

In a large pot, put in oil and heat pat under moderately high heat. When
oil is hot, put meat cubes into the pot and let brown.

Chop onion.

Put both cans of tomatos in. Put in package of chili. Place in Onion
Stout, salt and pepper...

Put heat on low and let simmer for 4 hours. (It is done when the meat
transforms from chewy to melt in mouth).

Serve with fresh diced tomatos, onions, sour cream, and cheese for the
top, and rice, potato's or beans for underneath. Have Franks and Tabasco
on hand for adding your own heat at the end.

Oh, and like all good chili's and the like, hope there are leftovers,
cuz this is even better the day after...
