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.

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 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.

Katsup
-
I use adobo sauce and spices. It's like ketchup but it's different from the regular vinegar-based stuff.

I don't understand the no tomatoes rule. What do you end up with, meat floating in a watery broth? It sounds like a clear soup, not chili.
-
I confess to using tomatoes. I used undrained canned petite dice and Rotel - both original and hot. But it cooks for so long, they pretty much disintegrate.
Never ever put beans in chili.
Or anything else for that matter. Beans are nasty - except for green beans that don't really count. Beans moush funny in your mouth. Yuk!!! :puke:
-

No. The meat is braised in a very small amount of liquid - I use beef stock - until it's tender. You should wind up with something that looks like the photo at the link:

-
I'm not sure where I heard this or where I read it, but the whole reason beans were added to real chili dishes was the cost - beans are a source of cheap protein. Beans will stretch that chili dollar all the way to next week.
Meh. If I want beans, I'll eat straight Mex.
BTW - Beano works. Trust me. Take two of those puppies and the gut-blasting incident rate of flatulence is cut down to a manageable level.
-
Look, I don't mean to be a PITA, but Eupher, the recipe you linked to has these ingredients:
4 pounds boneless chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 (6-ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (32-ounce) container beef broth
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
How do you get it rich and thick? With no tomato ingredients, it sounds like watery beef soup with a kick to it.
I think the recipe above has too much tomato paste. A little of that goes a long way.
-

The link I provided was just an example of what chili should LOOK LIKE. I didn't endorse the recipe.
Again, there is no need for any thickening agent if the beef is:
1. In large enough chunks to begin with.
2. Simmered to both concentrate the broth (don't use too much to begin with - just barely enough to cover the meat) and tenderize the beef.
With the beef and the scorched/skin burned off the chilis, along with onions and garlic and spices, and not too much beef stock to begin with, you'll wind up with a thick, rich, meat stew. Nothing watery or soupy about it.
I hope that helps.

What?
No ghost peppers? I thought this was supposed to be a manly chili.

But it ain't what I learned.
In 1519, Fernando Cortez' expedition to Mexico (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/32474/32474-h/32474-h.htm) found Indians who were cooking chili con carne: tomatoes, chilis, and salt. These Indians intended to add the Conquistadors to the pot- not cubes of beef! (see chapter 83 at the link)
Beans in chili (http://www.prismnet.com/~wallen/chili/antique.html) have been good enough for the US Army since 1917.
If you come to my house, you'll get beans and tomatoes in your chili. If you don't like 'em, pick 'em out.

Cortez croaked of pleurisy, likely brought on by those damned beans you keep trumpeting.
By the way, I like beans. They're cheap. Which is why the U.S. Army likes 'em too. They simply don't belong in chili. Pure and simple.
I take my filet a nice medium rare, btw. Wrapped in bacon is a nice touch. :-)

Point of order, Mr. Chairman. The "Chili of Manliness" (your term) is, by definition, a stttrrrettttcccccchhhhhed dish. Gotta stretch it to make it work for a houseful of football watchers. Even T-bones for $2.75 only go so far when you've got football going on.
Besides, the beans help with the farting contests during halftime.

I call it the Chili of Manliness because I first posted the recipe at the Art of Manliness website.

I bought one T-bone, for me. It will be my solitary pleasure.

I use anywhere from 1/2 cup of chili powder to a cup of chili powder, depending on the size of the pot I'm fixin'. That doesn't count the cayenne & red peppers I add to it. If I'm making it for me or any other Texan, I don't use beans. If Yankees are present, I'll throw in some beans just to appease their tastelessness. They don't know any different, anyways. Bless their little hearts.......

The History of Chili (http://www.chilicookoff.com/History/History_of_Chili.asp)
I mentioned this in another thread. Our town is having a chili cook off to raise funds for a local "Say No to Abuse" charity, our local Hospice and others. Years ago the International Chili Association was involved in these cook offs years ago in my town, and now they have been brought back in. They will also be having a large classic car show. The weather should be in the low to mid 70's.
Our town should have a very good turn out, and a lot of money should be raised.
You simply buy tickets to taste the chili then cast your vote for your favorites.
Private individuals, restaurants and businesses participate in the cook off. This includes the lady that took over Art Bell's radio station. She does a lot for this community.
