I love chili! but we've only had chili from around here, I'm sure it tastes awesome in places like Texas. Um, now I want to make chili for Sun. dinner, any recipes you can share?
Easy recipe:
Get a 2 lb pack of hamburger meat (chuck). Brown meat in pan. Drain.
If you have
Carroll Shelby's up there, by one box for every, IIRC, 2 pounds of meat you use.
Buy a thing of Cayenne pepper for heat.
Buy pinto, kidney, or chili beans (1 can each for this recipe, or you can mix and match and for the love of all that's holy, drain all that liquid slop the beans are in). This will be up to your discretion if you want more meat, more beans, or an equal amount of both. Also you want to get a can or two of chopped tomatoes.
In tall pot, mix all ingredients, browned meat, all seasoning in CS box (trash the Masa), beans, and a little cayenne pepper (the packet in the CS box is WAY too small, but this will also be up to your discretion and it'll be you suffering the consequences the next morning
).
Cook high until bubbling covered, stirring when needed. After about 10 minutes, lower temp to about low-medium and taste for heat. Add cayenne if needed. NOTE: Cayenne doesn't burn as soon as you touch it normally, so don't overdue it. Taste it, and if you're sweating a few minutes later, it's good. If you're about to suffer a heat stroke, you've used to much. The Masa flour in the CS box, trash it. It's to thicken it up, but if you know what you're doing, you don't need to add flour to thicken up a pot of chili.
That's an easy recipe, but it's all in taste. I can't do just a normal "follow the directions" recipe. I have to check, recheck, re-stir, add, etc.
If you also want crackers, just regular saltines.
