Weather and food
67 right now; high tomorrow projected as 40, with a low of 20.
Sufficient excuse to whip up the first pot of chili of the season. Have had to modify the recipe over the years, as my stomach no longer tolerates overly-spicy food. It still isn't "hamburger soup", but have to remove the can of jalapeno puree like I once used. More subtle now, with rice vinegar, onions, etc. for flavor. Of course, cooking the chili is almost as enjoying as eating the chili. Serve with crackers, Colby cheese, pickles, etc. Makes a great meal! Jon

I've switched to starting with cubed sirloin browned in olive oil, vidalia onions and chili powder. It gets a good 4 hour simmer before the first serving, and wow is it great on the second day.

It has to cook for a minimum of 2 days, 3 is better. All the components have to get to know each other. I make up 6 quarts, eat on it for a day, and freeze the rest in individual serving bags. Can then have chili whenever I wish. Jon

No beans in mine. Real chili doesn't have beans in it.
I make chili using Carrol Shelby's mix with onions, green and red pepper just cut in pieces not too big or too small, and a dash of hot sauce only for a bit of extra flavor. For meat I use London broil cubed and hamburger. In the crock pot all day on low. 4 quarts worth. Real cheese rough grated served on top.

I like chili, but mine is homemade hormel. Beans and beef! I cant stand peppers, onions etc. Nothing like that goes near mine!! I had a pot monday night for dinner. Brown the beef, throw in the beans, some tomato sauce, let it cook for a half hour and eat!! I know, completely blasphemous

A girl who I work with brought in some chili to be nice. She said she put cinnamon in it................what
 . I tried it to be nice and it was actually really good, gave it it a subtle sweet taste. Chili with lots of meat is the best winter meal in my opinion.

Great idea. I use ground venison and still like some heat and can tolerate it.
Just finished up the last batch of hot sauce from the garden couple of days ago....

Food is like automobiles. What a dull world it would be if everyone had exactly the same likes.
40 years ago, I included a can of Jalapeno puree in every batch of chili. Chili was served with cheese, crackers, and a six foot length of garden hose My digestive system will no longer tolerate the Jalapenos.  Jon

I've tried quite a few different brands. Hands down I've found this to be the best chili powder...
https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/prod...41271458562235 With it I also add some Ancho Chili Powder. This type of powder does little to add 'heat', only for the added flavor.... https://www.savoryspiceshop.com/coll...o-chile-powder .

My chili won the cookoff at work pre-Covid, and placed second a handful of times. Timely post, our annual competition is this coming Monday. Just so you know, its the best ever.

Don't forget the ground cumin.
Enhanced by the addition of cumin, it adds spiciness and earthy flavor. Be careful with how much cumin you add. Too much cumin can make your chili taste bitter. Hint... buy whole cumin seeds. Toast them in a heavy skillet over medium heat, releasing the flavor. Take care not to scorch them. Remove them immediately and transfer to a mortar or spice grinder. .
