The Chili of Manliness
« on: October 28, 2012, 04:32:41 PM »
The Chili of Manliness
(Big Dog's All-purpose Crock-pot Chili)

Ingredients:
1 lb dry pinto beans
1 yellow onion
2 large (28 oz) cans diced or crushed tomatoes
32 oz V-8 juice
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 tbsp minced garlic (or 6 cloves, minced)
1-2 tbsp Chipotle chili powder
1-2 tbsp cumin
1/2 cup salt- to soak beans
2 tsp salt (I like the taste of sea salt)
1 tsp black pepper (I grind mine fresh, but you don't have to)

Meat (Cook specifically for the chili, or use leftovers from another Manliness meal):
2 lb of any one or more-
    Cooked ground beef
    Smoked beef brisket
    Smoked sausage
    Summer sausage
    Smoked pork
    Smoked turkey
    Roast beef
    Roast pork
    Leftover Thanksgiving turkey

Cooking instructions:

1. Rinse pinto beans. In crock pot, place beans and 1/2 cup salt. Add water to fill crock pot 3/4 full. Cover and set aside for 24 hours. After 24 hours, drain and rinse. Return beans to the pot.

2. Dice onion. Add to pot.

3. Rinse cilantro under cold water. Cut leafy ends from the stems, dice and add to pot.

4. Cut meat into small pieces. Add to pot.

5. Add garlic, salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper to pot.

6. Add canned tomatoes to pot.

7. Add V-8 juice to pot. Stir.

8. Set crock-pot on "high", cover, and cook for 8 hours. Stir every 2 hours.

Serve with shredded sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, tortillas or tortilla chips, and cold beer.

Leftovers will taste better the second day!

Those who taught me about chili say otherwise.

No beans. No tomatoes.

Just meat (usually chunks of chuck, not ground beef) and chili (I prepare fresh poblanos and jalapenos by searing the skin off over an open flame, then dice the rest - go easy on the membrane and seeds depending on who else is eating it) and spices. Some onions and garlic if I'm feeling adventuresome. Yeah, I know a lot of people put beans in their chili. And tomatoes.

But it ain't what I learned.

This. Your chili needs to make hair spontaneously sprout all over your body. And make your eyes well up.

You don't cook the dry beans first? Dry beans won't cook in tomatoes, this I have learned.
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

you soak the dry pinto beans in the crockpot for 24 hours before you add anything, or are you talking about the salt to soak beans. That I have no idea what those are or if available. Will have to look in McKinnons or Trader Joe's.

Soaking beans doesn't take 24 hours. And I've never salted beans while they're soaking. The time is variable, though obviously, the longer you soak them the less time you need to cook them.

The one thing you absolutely want to do with beans before you wash/soak/cook them is SORT them. You can find little pebbles in those puppies and you don't want to chomp down on one of those and break off the $800 crown you just ponied up at your dentist's office.

Beans do NOT belong in real chili. Again.

Neither do tomatoes. Again.

Tots has it - of course, she's a Texas transplant.
