Need Help withChili recipes!

[gobears92]

My wife is wondering about Texas Chili so she wants to "try and make some "(

) ...........without beans of course....

So if y'all could kindly write down some recipes it would be appreciated....different types of meat in the recipe is fine since we live in colorado and can get some game meat now and then...

 

[Beef]

TEXAS RED CHILI

Lightly brown 3½ to 4 pounds of chili grind beef or venison in a tablespoon of shortening and a clove or two of minced garlic. Use 2 tablespoons shortening if using venison without added beef or pork fat. You can use cubed meat if you don't have chili grind

ADD
2 Cans - 8 oz Hunt's Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce. Use regular tomato sauce if you can't find the roasted garlic variety.
½ Can - 14½ oz Swanson Roasted Garlic Chicken Broth. Use regular Chicken Broth if the roasted garlic is unavailable. Save remainder for later use.
1 Can - 14½ oz Swanson Flavored Beef Broth. Use regular Beef Broth if Flavored is unavailable.
½ tsp - Cayenne pepper
2 tsp - Wyler's Instant Beef Bouillon Granules or Shakers (Do not reconstitute before adding)
2 tsp - Wyler's Instant Chicken Bouillon Granules or Shakers (Do not reconstitute before adding)
1 tbsp - Pendery's Fort Worth Light Chili Powder
3 - Serrano peppers with stems removed
1½ tbsp - Onion powder
1 tsp - Cumin

Bring to a boil uncovered for 1 hour.
Remove the serranos and squeeze the juice into the chili. And add:

1 tsp - White pepper
1 - Individual packet of Sazon GOYA Con Culantro y achiote (coriander & annatto).
3 tbsp - Gunpowder Foods Texas Red Chile Pepper
1 tsp - Garlic powder
1 tbsp - Cumin
2 tbsp - Pendery's Forth Worth Light Chili Powder

Adjust the liquid with the remaining chicken broth from above and other liquids, if necessary (I use the chicken broth, beef broth, and beer. BE CAREFUL adjusting the liquid with beer. Too much beer adds too much "sweetness" to the final product, trust me on this one!!). Cover and cook on medium to medium-high heat for about 30-45 minutes. Too much heat causes you to lose too much liquid, forcing you to continually add more. This is where you can accidentally add too much beer. Then add the following:

½ tsp - Brown sugar
1 tbsp - Pendery's Fort Worth Light Chili Powder
½ tsp - Gunpowder Foods Hot Stuff
1 tsp - Cumin

Adjust liquid, if necessary, then cover and simmer for 10-20 minutes. Serve hot to any and all brave souls!!

NOTES
You DO NOT want to add more than 1 beer while adjusting your liquid. Beer has a lot of sugar in it, and it adds too much sweetness to your chili.

Gunpowder Foods can be found atThe Link

Pendery's Spices can be found atThe Link They've got a LOT of good stuff!!

Sazon GOYA is available at a lot of supermarkets. But if you can't find it, Pendery's carries it in their Blends and Rubs section as SAZON GOYA-ACHIOTE 1.41OZ 8 PACK.
If you wonder why I use these "special, name-brand" spices instead of the more readily available ones (Kroger Brand Chili Powder, etc..), it's because these are spice blends and/or special chile grinds. For example, the Texas Red Chile Pepper from Gunpowder is a very mild chile pepper grind, but it adds a lot of flavor and great color.

Mrs. Rox says that chili WITH tomato sauce is teh suck...

I think chili WITHOUT is

& We all should know by now my stand on beans (hangin' offense).

This website has recipes from past winners of the Terlingua International Chili Championships.

I went through a bunch of these and took things from each one that sounded good to me as well as merged their cooking times and styles to form one super massive pot of chili that was the best I've ever made.

 

[gobears92]

thank you all very much....

2 cans of tomato sauce is way too much.
One can is fine. I use the Cento Italian tomato sauce.

 

[The Dog]

just start with my father in law's simple recipe and improvise:

3 pounds meat (ground, cubed, beef, deer, goat, pork whatever)
2 cans rotel
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 packs chili mix (if you have your own chili seasoning, then wonderful. use it.)
1 beer

brown meat and drain. add in the rest and simmer for 4 hours.

modify as need fit and you won't go wrong.

Those Terlingua recipes are interesting -- most seem to use beef & chicken bouillon and/or broth. I don't use either.

 

[Mrmyke709]

I use beef broth and a little chicken bullion. I use less than those Terlingua recipes, otherwise it's too salty.
Made a pot of chili on Saturday, cold rain makes me want to have a bowl of red.

I got a pot cooking in the 6 qt slow cooker right now.

Here's what I put in it:

brown 6 lbs of ground chuck, 80/20 lean/fat ratio, in a frying pan, let some of it get real brown before you turn it but don't burn it, I crumble it up kind of coarse. Drain the grease.

To the crock pot add two or three coarsely chopped onions.

pour some of the browned drained meat into the crock pot.

add, 4 or 5 garlic cloves, some chili powder (I managed to fined Gebharts Chili Powder here!) to taste, some black pepper, salt, and cumin to taste.

Dump 2 or three cans of Rotel and a can of tomato sauce in (if you want tomatoes, they're optional)

chop 2 or 5 or so serranos and dump them in the larger ones are milder than the smaller ones, I like my chili hot so I don't bother to seed them, This time I also added 3 poblano chopped peppers to see what that would be like and then put the rest of the meat on top and add water and let cook on high for several hours and enjoy.

The stuff will be good when it's cooked and better the next day.

Find the Cin Chili recipe from the only two time Terlingua winner. It is about as good as you can make.

 

[simihorn]

This thread has a crockpot recipe.

good weekend for chili

The Cin Chili recipe is in this document. There are other tips about cooking chili (mostly meant for the cookoff crowd) along with recipes of several other past winners from Terlingua.

That site can't be real. Where's the spaghetti noodles in all of those recipes?
