Chili Recipe - Courtesy of Jimmy's Drunk Kitchen

[FLEX]

Well, I guess it is time for me to give something back to the CF community. I spent the last 2 hours making my awesome chili with Miss Foxxxy, and with the Super Bowl fast upon our heels, I thought you guys might appreciate my chili recipe.

Chili is one of those things that you never make quite the same each time. But this is how I made it today, and it is (more or less) how I usually make it.

Enjoy! :)


Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef
1 lb ground pork (or ground veal)
1 lb chorizo sausages

2 cans red kidney beans (19oz.)
1 can romano beans (19 oz.)
1 can chick peas (19 oz.)
2 cans crushed tomatoes (28 oz.)
2 cans diced tomatoes (28 oz.)
1 can sliced black (ripe) olives (19oz.)

2 large sweet green peppers
1 large sweet red pepper
2 hot yellow peppers
5 hot chili peppers
½ pound sliced white mushrooms
½ pound sliced crimini mushrooms
4-6 medium sized cooking onions
1 bulb of garlic

1 can of beer (optional)
1 can of tomato paste (optional)

Salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), spices (chili powder, ancho chili powder, etc.) and hot sauce as required

Directions:

Dice onions, garlic, peppers.
Sauté onions and garlic in pan with some olive oil.
While onions sautéing, add tomatoes and olives to large chili pot then rinse beans with water and drain then add to chili pot.
Put chili pot on stove on low heat.
Once onions are cooked, add ground beef and brown with onions and garlic, while adding pepper and/or spices (chili powder, etc.) to taste.
Add browned ground beef/onions/garlic to chili pot
Brown the ground pork (or veal) and remove the casings from the sausages (a pair of kitchen scissors works well) then add naked sausages to pan.
Sauté peppers (I like to use a little EVOO and some beer, then cover to steam them; it works better) then, once peppers are cooked, add mushrooms and cover again for a few minutes to cook the mushrooms.
Add browned meat and sautéed peppers & mushrooms to chili pot.
Simmer the whole concoction for a few hours, while adding spices and/or hot sauce to taste.

If the chili is too thick, add beer as required. If it is too thin, add tomato paste as necessary.

Drink beer and smooch whilst the chili simmers.

Have fun,

-=FLEX=-

and Foxxxy :)

[soccerbachelor]

I see it now, nice, I will have to give it a try for the super bowl, a pointless game between 2 teams that aren't the redskins, lol.

[blacoste]

Chili and beer two of the best things available to mortal man, right after Chargers. Is it coincidence that both threads have the same OP?

And he's Canadian of all things!!!!:grin:

[Ricover]

That sounds great. Gonna hafta try that next weekend.

BTW how fast is that EVOO in the 1/4 mile?

[CHARLIE]

Man that sounds so good. How many servings does that receipe make?

[FLEX]

A LOT! :eek:

I have a 14L chili pot and that was about 2/3 full. Good enough for a party, otherwise you better have some room in your freezer. :)

[CHARLIE]

A LOT! :eek:

Yikes, I don't think I have a 14 L pot at home or extra freezer space.

[FLEX]

Yikes, I don't think I have a 14 L pot at home or extra freezer space.

Then cut all the ingredients in half. :wink:

[CHARLIE]

Oh I can, when it's too hot:(

I think the reason your reciepe stood out to me is because it has a lot of meat.

Ok, that's twice FLEX! First you're merrily downing one brew after another while I suffer through diet soda. Now you're eating prime rib, and I just pulled out the cold left over take and bake pizza from two days ago!

How long of a drive is it from Kansas to Canada? And can I make it in time for dinner?

[FLEX]

I have no clue, but lemme tell ya, that was the most awesomest Prime Rib I've ever had.

Woohoo!!!

So if we don't answer the door, (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) just come on in and help yourself when ya get here. Leftovers are in the fridge :lol:

Friendly bump for anyone who missed this.

Just because it's Super Bowl weekend.

EDIT: Just realized this thread was a little jacked. No worries though. The OP contains a chili recipe. :wink:

Something tells me the chili's always a trifle too thick at Flexi's House. :wink:

A Classsic: The Chilli Cook Off...

If you can read this whole story without tears of laughter running down
your cheeks, then there's no hope for you!

*Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to
the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better!*


For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is.
They actually have a chilli cook off at about the time the Rodeo comes to town.
It takes up a major portion of the parking lot at the Astrodome. The notes are from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas
from the East Coast: Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a
judge at a chili cook-off. The Judge #3 called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted."

Here are the scorecards from the event:

Chili # 1 (Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili)
Judge # 1 A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) Holy ****, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2 (Arthur's Afterburner Chili)
Judge # 1 Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 (Frank) Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure
what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people
who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more
beer when they saw the look on my face.

Chili # 3 (Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili)
Judge # 1 Excellent firehouse chili Great kick. Needs more beans.
Judge # 2 A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 (Frank) Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like
I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me
more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my
backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting ****-faced from
all of the beer!

Chili # 4 (Bubba's Black Magic)
Judge # 1 Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild
foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 (Frank) I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was
unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the
barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. bitch
is starting to look HOT... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is
chili an aphrodisiac?

Chili # 5 (Laura's Legal Lip Remover)
Judge # 1 Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding
considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit
the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 (Frank) My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead
and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming.
Screw those rednecks.

Chili # 6 (Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety)
Judge # 1 Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices
and peppers.
Judge # 2 The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
Superb.
Judge # 3 (Frank) I **** myself when I farted and I'm worried it will
eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except
that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips
anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.

Chili # 7 (Sandra's Screaming Sensation Chili)
Judge # 1 A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of
chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried
about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing
uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 (Frank) You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and
I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world
sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili,
which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like
**** to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what
killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it;
I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in
through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

Chili # 8 (Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili)
Judge # 1 The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold
but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor
hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 passed out,
fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if
he's going to make it. Poor dude, wonder how he'd have reacted to a
really hot chili?
