I've had crock pot chili for dinner this entire week
We made vegan chili for the first time in our crock pot. We had it for dinner on Monday. There has been enough for me to have it for leftovers for dinner each night of the week.
I used the last of it today - I mixed it with whole grain rice..
For under $5.oo I've eaten dinner for the week. It doesn't get much more frugal then that..

1. I do things like that all the time, and I love it.
I don't use a crock pot, I don't have one. But I do make things like soups, chili, spaghetti sauce, etc., in a huge pot. What I love about it is that I come home from work and don't even have to think about what I am going to make for dinner, which is a pain in the butt for me.
I have never put rice in chili, and I don't even think that my chili would have room for rice. How do you make your chili? I use different kinds of beans...pinto, kidney, black beans. But when I lived in Houston, I was told that my chili was not proper since you are not supposed to have beans in it, and I have a lot of beans.

2. we use beans too
red and black beans.. plus corn and crushed tomatoes..

3. Corn....that sounds interesting.
And it sounds like a perfect ingredient. Corn originated in Mexico, didn't it? And chili has origins in the same area? I will have to try adding corn, although with all the beans, I don't know where I will fit it.

4. I did a pot roast this week and have been reserving it as well.
Probably finish it off tonight.
I like to do these big pieces of meat or chicken, then make really different things with them.
Very frugal! Congratulations.

We made vegan chili
That's the most revolting thing I've read in a long time.

I think it may actually be some sort of blasphemy.

These DUmmies are all going to get food poisoning. Nothing leftover stays in my fridge for more than three days without being eaten, frozen or thrown out.
-
I hope this dosen't get me in trouble with my fellow Texans but, I like corn in chilli too. Something I picked up in my youth in Michigan.

Unless the vegan is in the chili.

What's the point of making vegan chili?

What's the point of making vegan chili?
The point is that it would be easy to make a crock pot full of it last a whole week. I couldn't choke down more than a couple spoonfuls in one sitting.

It's probably how they use up their leftover peas.

Chili is tomato,ground meat and beans with seasoning.
Anything else is a gruel of some sort but it is not chili.

This DUmmy is acting like he/she invented the wheel.
Vegan chili? Blech.

About as much point as Pam has making chicken enchiladas.
And they'll both turn your stomach in a heartbeat.

Vegan chili is basically bean soup. Call it that next time DUmmy.

I bet the DUmmie has passed enough foul smelling natural gas this week power a whole town somewhere. He'll be producing less tomorrow so we may have to frag his ass.....or is that frack........doesn't matter, either one should work.

Vegetarian "chili" can be tasty, but I recommend aggresive uses of tomatoes and onions and only using fresh ground peppers. Also, after two days it is some nasty stuff. I used to date a herbivo....I mean vegetarian.....way back when.

Just like they make it out in the Vega system? Man, I haven't had that since my ship blew out its starboard repulsor landing on this Godforsaken ball of rock...oh...you meant "Made out of vegetables with no actual meat." Yeah, sorry, that's not 'Chili.'
:facepalm:

Years ago we were up in the mountains and were going to picnic, but the weather turned really cold. So we stopped at a little victorian house turned into a restaurant of sorts. I didn't realize it was vegetarian, as nothing was posted that said as much. We ordered the chili and it was nothing but a bowl of stewed tomatoes with peppers. Bleh....

I've put corn in chili before. I always mix it up it up a little. Variety in life is good!
I also like chili with and without beans.
Our town is having a chili cook off next weekend as a fundraiser for a local "Say No to Abuse" group and our local Hospice. Years ago the International Chili Society was involved in these cook offs in our town, and now they are involved once again. We should have a pretty good turn out.

I'm siding with BEG. Blech!!!

If the DUmmies were any smarter, they'd know they were poking us with a stick. :-)
So many revolting food threads. The OP made beans&rice, nothing more.
Rob, the NY Health Dept put a stop to those chili cook-offs run by amateurs. Pissed a lot of people off, as they are part of tradition. However, our American Legion still hosts an annual Chowder cook-off, also prepared by amateurs with home cooking equipment. Why one and not the other? Beats me. Capricious bureaucrats. Your government at work.

Yes, local gov't in some areas have made things difficult. I know our little league found themselves having new rules for their consession stands. The parents of each team would rotate who took care of it each week during the season. All of a sudden, they wanted every person inside the concession stand to have a health card, which came with a yearly fee, a test and a 120 mile round trip to get. This was just for the food handlers card. The lady that was in charge of the stand already had the proper food certification and she suddenly found herself without any help.
The following is reprinted from the San Antonio Light of September 12, 1937
Recent action of the city health department in ordering removal from Haymarket square of the chili queens and their stands brought an end to a 200-year-old tradition. The chili queens made their first appearance a couple of centuries back after a group of Spanish soldiers camped on what is now the city hall site and gave the place the name, Military Plaza. At one time the chili queens had stands on Military

^^^ That's outrageous. I wonder how it is that we were not all made extinct some time ago? Who knew that our mothers were trying to kill us with each and every meal she made for us? As we all speak, your spouse is attempting to do you in next time he/she says, "I got dinner, relax."

No it's not. The only thing missing is the ground beef and honestly that doesn't give chili it's flavor anyway. I make it without the ground beef for my oldest since she doesn't like ground beef. To me all this beanless talk in chili threads makes me think those people should call it chili spaghetti sauce. If all it has is ground beef, tomatoes of some kind, and chili powder then that's not far from the truth. Let the beanless wonders start the bses. I'm tired of you heathen :D

I cannot tell a lie. I lived on Beanie Weenie B-2 Units for a week in S. Korea.
I traded the John Wayne bars out in the 'ville for....
....never mind.

:rotf:
Give 'em Hell, girl!
I disagree though, I went to a party at a colleague's house where there were going to be several things to eat, unknown to me and undisclosed on the information about it was the fact she was a hardcore vegetarian. The chili in the pot looked great, I must say, but it was as different from the taste of the real thing as caffeine-free Diet Coke is from actual Diet Coke...something important was just not there.
H5 for guts, just in case anyone DID BS you!

Oh, brother, C-rats! Spaghetti & meatballs, ham and mother****ers, cheese, crackers, John Wayne bars, flammable peanut butter, and fruitcake!
Nothing like a can of cold spaghetti & meatballs. Once in awhile I buy a can of the cheap stuff and eat it outside, under a tree, for old times sake.

Why'dja have to go and say that? WHY???? You know I love you? Why you gonna make me BS you? WHY????????
I. Had. No. Choice.

I will H5 you in an hour to make up for it. :-)

The ground beef is the difference between chili and bean soup.
And then you have those weird recipes - mostly confined to the Southwest from what I understand - that inexplicably omit the kidney beans.
The next logical step is for a vegetarian anti-beaner to explain how great "chili" is when you leave out both the meat and the beans.
And surely a few of those vegetarian anti-beaners will claim an allergy to tomatoes.....

Well now you're just talking about a glass of tap water.
Big Dog, what is "ham and mother****ers?"
What about this thing called "white chili?" It doesn't look appetizing to me, so I've never tried it.
-
Karin, White Chili is chili made with chicken and white beans. It isn't really chili, but it can be tasty.
Let the record show that I have H5'd Jty as earlier stated. :-)

"IIRC, "ham and mother****ers" is a term for the old C-ration 'entree' "ham and lima beans." I think I had them waaay back when I was an MS-1 cadet in ROTC . . . Yeah, the nightmare is coming back to me now. :runaway: I did.
If you had them, you'd understand.

Not. Chili.
Bean soup with chicken chunks. :-)

Remember "Tuna loaf"? Tried feeding some to a stray cat once. Got bit and clawed for the effort.

Yes.

Well thanks for the replies. Ham and lima beans? For our brave servicemen and women? :panic: BARF.
Bean soup with chicken chunks. Hmmm no thanks. Bean soup needs ham, and I like it slightly orange, from carrots and a tsp of tomato paste.

The the best soup for ham is split green pea.

I sort of remember one of the cadre's NCOs telling us that there was a rumor that some of the aforementioned 'cuisine' had been put through nuclear weapons tests, and we got it. One of the female cadets believed him. :runaway:
