My church is having a chilli cook off this weekend but I haven't ever made chilli. I thought it would be fun to enter but now I have to find a really good chilli recipe. Would anyone mind sharing their best chilli recipe with me?
 
I made some Brisket Chili last weekend for the UTEP game.

With thanks to JellyDonut. My recipe is below. Mine has a couple of differences compared to Jelly's. Quick note, use very little brown sugar as even a pinch you can taste.


* 2.5 pounds beef brisket cut into cubes
* 1 pound ground turkey or beef (not always needed)
* 1 chopped onion
* 1 bell pepper
* 2 chopped jalapenos
* 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
* ~5 tablespoons chile powder
* 1 tablespoon cumin ground
* 2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp cracked black pepper
* pinch of brown sugar
* pinch of ground mustard
* pinch oregano
* 1/4 bottle of Shiner Bock
 
15 lbs of Meat

Chili Powder 10 ounces
Black Pepper 1 ounce
Crushed Pepper 1.5 ounce
Salt to taste
Paprika 2 Table Spoons
Garlic Powder 2 Table Spoons
Ground Cumin 1 ounce
Bell Peppers 9 large
Onions 6 large
Diced Tomatoes 6- 29 oz. cans
Tomato Sauce 6- 29 oz. cans

I got this from Alton Brown.
Ingredients:
3 pounds stew meat (beef, pork, and/or lamb)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer, preferably a medium ale
1 (16-ounce) container salsa
30 tortilla chips
2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers in adobo)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt. Set aside.

Heat a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pressure cooker over high heat until hot. Add the meat in 3 or 4 batches and brown on all sides, approximately 2 minutes per batch. Once each batch is browned, place the meat in a clean large bowl.

Once all of the meat is browned, add the beer to the cooker to deglaze the pot.

Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the meat back to the pressure cooker along with the salsa, tortilla chips, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and ground cumin and stir to combine. Lock the lid in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the steam begins to hiss out of the cooker, reduce the heat to low, just enough to maintain a very weak whistle. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully release the steam. Serve immediately.
 
Carroll Shelby's mix is really good, too. On the back of the package, it gives a lot of suggested ingredients to customize your chili.

Simple and good.
 
Buy meat. Buy chili appropriate veggies. Buy canned tomatoes

Buy a LOT of the San Antonio Chili Powder you can buy at HEB in the bulk dry herbs section.

Go crazy... You don't need a recipe for chili.
 
ok... list of what NOT to include:

-beans
-sugar
-tomatoes
-brown sugar
-cinnimon
-chocolate

NONE of these are to be found in chili....
 
We're off to Terlingua in November.
Thursday, Nov. 5th is the "Last Chance" cookoff, anyone can enter. If you place in the top 3, you get to dance with the big boys on Saturday.

Is it really wrong to throw in a can of ranch style beans into your chili??? Didn't realize that was taboo??

Help me out here guys, I don't want to be one out of line.

You're only out of line if you think anyone else's olpinion matters. Do what appeals to you. I personally don't care for beans, particularly pinto beans, in my chili, but it's just a personal opinion and you shouldn't give it a second thought. Anyone who questions your "texasness" doesn't get it that Texans do whatever they damn well want to.
