Lookin for out of this world chili recipes!

Posted: Oct 28, 2011

The snow has started to fly here in MN and every weekend (and during the week) I sit wishing I had a crock of chili going. I usually just throw some stuff together and my family isn't too impressed, but they'll eat it. I know someone out there has a great recipe to share! Hamburger or chicken...spicy or not! My DH and I like spicy but the kids not so much. Thanks!

chili mix - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I use Caroll Shelby's Texas Chili mix. Very tasty, very easy. Comes in a box. sometimes I find it in the spice section, sometimes in the soup section of the grocery store. If you Google it, you will see what it looks like. Very tasty. Family loves it. I made with hamburger and beans.

My "Great Chili" recipe for crock pot - not spicy

[ In Reply To ..]
Great Chili

1-1/2 pound ground beef (or turkey)
1-1/2 C. chopped onion
1 C. green pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 Cans kidney beans rinsed and drained
2 Cans Tomato Sauce (15 oz)
2 C. diced tomatoes (14-1/2 oz)
2 tsp. chili powder
1-2 tsp. dry mustard
3/4 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. pepper

1. Cook beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic in skillet till brown. Drain and put in crock pot.

2. Add beans, tomato sause, diced tomatoes, chili powder, dry mustard, basil and pepper. Mix.

3. Cook low 8-10 hours, or high 4-5 hours.

Serves 6.

If you like noodles, you can add them before serving.

be careful not to overcook your beans - of they will fall apart

I always use dried beans I soaked overnight, not canned beans, but was cooking stove top. I think you are safer with a crock because the beans are less likely to get too hot for an extended period of time. Just wanted to point that out :) Also you can use chicken stock to soak dry beans overnight for better flavor.

Using stew meat costs about the same for me where I live, and adds better texture than ground meat. I love the Carroll chili kit, too

If you don't want to use meat, I use Morningstar - crumbles NM

My Dad's Chili.... Sm - Old Woman

[ In Reply To ..]
My Daddy only cooked 2 things that I remember, and that was popcorn and an amazing pot of chili, or so we always thought. If you like beans, onions, bell pepper and tomatoes in your chili, then this is not the recipe for you. He believed those things had no place in a pot of real chili. LOL

5 pounds chili meat (very coarse hamburger)
2 to 3 cloves pressed garlic (use a garlic press or smash with the broad side of a knife on the counter)
5 1-ounce bottles of Mexene Chili Powder (he only used this brand and it really made a difference. If you can't find this, Gebhardt is the closest I have found)
2 to 3 sleeves of finely crushed saltines (roll with a rolling pin to the consistency of flour)
Salt to taste

In a large heavy pot (not cast iron), brown the chili meat using a small amount of water to keep it from overbrowning before being completely done. To this, add the pressed garlic and chili powder. Stir often and cook for about 30 minutes. Add the saltine crackers which have been crushed. You will need to adjust based on the consistency, but this should make it very thick, almost a solid. Allow this to cook for 5 to 10 minutes and then taste for saltiness. You may or may not need to add salt at this point. Cook until thickened. At this point, you can eat the chili. Any leftovers should be put in a large container and refrigerated. When you heat it up for leftovers, you will need to add water to get it back to chili consistency again.

One of the wonderful leftover dishes we had with this was scrambled eggs with chili gravy. Very tasty!!

Chili Recipe - Backwoods Typist

My uncle taught me how to make this chili about two years ago and oh my goodness! It has fresh chili peppers in it, so if you dont like handling peppers, this recipe is not for you. It has a little heat, but too much because the seeds and membrane are removed from the peppers. Make sure to wear gloves when working with the peppers and avoid scratching your eyes, etc.

-Hamburger (as much as you like, but I typically use about 2-3 pounds)
-Half an onion, chopped
-One to two cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
-One to two Anaheim peppers with top, seeds, and membrane removed, finely chopped
-One to two jalapeno peppers with top, seeds, and membrane removed, finely chopped
-One habenero pepper, done same as other peppers
-One-half red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
-One can tomato sauce, but may need more depending
-Two to three tablespoons chili seasoning mix or add enough to season to taste (Old El Paso works great if you can find it, but will include link for self-made mix below)
-Bean of choice (kidney beans, pintos)
-One-half to one teaspoon salt
-Cilantro if desired

Brown hamburger in a pot and drain fat, rinse in collander and let drain, then put back in pot. Add chopped onion and peppers and let soften for a few minutes. Add chili mix to taste and tomato sauce. Can add water if needed. Let simmer or can add to slow cooker at this point to finish. Cornbread or cheese and crackers goes wonderfully with this. Leave the beans out and you can have hotdog chili too!

Heres the chili mix recipe. Add a little more cumin than it calls for to pump up the flavor. Leave out the flour and sugar..its a lot better without that.

Hope you enjoy it!

Chili’s restaurants in two states are coming under fire from pro-life advocates for giving 15% of patron’s meal purchases to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. Earlier this week the Planned Parenthood abortion business affiliate in Indiana and Kentucky posted a promotional code its supporters could use to request that Chili’s donate 15% of the pre-tax meal purchase to benefit the abortion corporation. According to the image the abortion company posted, its supporters can brin ...

Oh yeah, and the hotter, the better. Also, any ideas on what I can eat it with besides corn chips or eggs? I eat salsa and eggs every morning at breakfast, but trying to avoid the carbs and ...

As requested, here are my recipes for cauliflower and egg curry. These are disgustingly simple recipes. They are traditional recipes, as I was got them from a guy from Delhi I was dating, but they may represent bachelor cooking rather than good mother cooking. I'm going to break these down into a posting for the ingredients (this one), one for the cauliflower, and one for the egg curry. The only ingredient that you likely will not have in your kitchen f ...

I'd like to share my pea soup recipe, and would like other ideas as well. I don't measure things, so just use your own judgment, likes/dislikes. Use a very heavy pot like an enamel pot or dutch oven. First, I take some olive oil, heat it, then sautee up some chopped garlic, onions, celery and carrots. I remove them from the pan when they're done, add a little more olive oil, then brown up a ham steak really well. Let the bottom of the pot get brown. (You can cube the ham steak ...

The next time we go shopping have decided to go all veggie for a couple weeks, hopefully longer. We are overweight, feeling run down, and have been having stomach problems. We knows its what we eat because after we eat we feel it the most. So goodbye to the meat, dairy, cheese, breads, rice, sugar, chocolate, and hello to the veggies. Now...I make excellent salads - nothing fancy (romaine, tomato, cuke, carrots, brocoli slaw, garbanzos, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds), ...

Last year around this time, a poster was kind enough to post several recipes for quick-and-easy fudge that could be made with a can of frosting and a couple of other ingredients. I was wondering if anyone happened to save those, or if that poster is still around if they would be kind enough to repost the recipes? Last year I was way too broke to make any holiday treats but this year is MUCH better (hallelujah, LOL!), and I remember those recipes sounded very tasty and simple. TIA to anyo ...

Will try to make a long story short. I love my MIL. We get along great. She comes to visit every couple of months and stays for the weekend.

She has had several psych admissions, is heavily medicated at times, but seems fine lately, and is under psych care. Occasionally she has said about my 3-year-old, "When he is older and ...
