Doing chili tonight. We had some really good white chili at a restaurant a couple years ago. Of course they wouldn't share the recipe. Anybody have any good ones?
One pound of locally acquired and processed venison, one can each of the following: pinto beans, great Northern beans, black beans, shoe peg corn, tomato sauce and cooked tomatoes. A packet of you favorite chili seasoning, one can of beer (no sipping allowed) a little salt, pepper and sautéed onions.
Wash the beans in order to avoid and lessen the after effects. Cook, heat and eat accordingly! Add jalapeños, if you like along with shredded cheddar cheese and cornbread, unless your to worn out to make a batch.
Wife's recipe and made under her supervision while she is still on the mend from a broken right ankle and lower right leg.

You don't really need recipe for chili. Pick a meat choice ( I prefer beef or elk) in a chili or hamburger grind (I've never seen a difference between the grind coarseness in the finished product). Some mistakenly think you need a greasy chili with lots of fat because grandma made it that way. However, the leanest of meat will work at least as well or better and it's just as flavorful.
Add the following to taste: chopped onion, chopped celery, chopped garlic, chili powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, canned or fresh diced tomatoes. Conservatively eyeball and adjust proportions on the ingredients until taste is right. You have to try hard to use too much of any of these ingredients except salt and that should be used sparingly anyway.
Simmer three hours or as long as you like, adding water as needed. Give the recipes a rest. They're good for some dishes but their usefulness is very limited and I've never seen a recipe that couldn't be improved upon. Look at it like developing an accurate handload that makes for tiny groups.
I like chili in all its myriad forms.
Never met one I couldn't eat.

Yep, my wife fixed a big pot last night and we'll do leftovers tonight. Love me some spicy chili!
Wife made a big pot full this afternoon. Obviously she's rusty, it was decent but lacked something to give it a little character.
Experience tells me not to make any comments.

Standard recipe for me is...
3 1/2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
4 large jalapenos finely minced (with seeds)
45oz. Kuner's chili beans
15oz. can Mexican style diced tomatoes (drained)
1 cup diced white onion
chili powder and cumin to taste
Brown the ground beef then throw everything in a slow cooker for 4hrs. If I had a gas stove I'd let it simmer in a pot.
Had some the other day at 2:30 in the morning then went to bed.

In upstate New York, despite a couple warmer days, it's getting to be chili time!
My simple recipe:
* 12oz +/- 90% lean ground beef browned with handful chopped onion and a little salt and pepper (otherwise beef w/o taste to me..)
* rest of aforesaid large sweet onion, chopped
* simmer above ~5 minutes, then add
* 14 oz can undrained chili beans, any brand
* 14 oz can undrained diced or sliced canned tomatoes, any brand
* splash EVOO to complement lean beef
* splash red wine (OK to sample for quality assurance)
* powdered: cumin, chili powder, cayenne, ginger to taste
* salt/pinch sugar if needed
* bring to boil - then simmer for at least 30 minutes
* adjust seasonings as needed
Corn bread good.

I love chili.
There are several restaurants in our area that offer good, traditional chili. I've tried most of their chili offerings, and liked 'em all.
One of my favorites was Bob Evans chili, and they no longer sell chili.
I no longer drive, and we rely on our son, to provide us with our groceries. They are all purchased at Kroger.
What store bought brands of chili, that can be purchased at Kroger, do you folks prefer?
Suggestions appreciated.

You're certainly right, but not everyone is an arbiter of exquisite taste like we are.

Beans might not be authentic, but the cowboys ate it with beans.
I know, I saw "Blazing Saddles"!

My chili came in 2nd place at our chili cook-off last year with about 30 entries, the funny thing is it takes about 30 min to throw mine together.
Ground sirloin and a package of Kroger chili mix, beans and tomatoes, pretty much it.
If you're spending all day on your chili, it really makes no difference. lol

C'mon; gotta have a couple undrained cans of Bushes Red Chili Beans. They're necessary for producing the all important "Chili gas".

Chili is without question one of the great culinary concoctions of all time, with as many ways of fixing it as there are people who fix it(well, a bit of an exaggeration). With or without some beans is OK with me, but please don't put something in front of me without ample amounts of tomatoes and tomato sauce and call it chili. That might be a legitimate dish of some kind, but we must identify our foods correctly.

I have a copy of a Chili cooking contest with 3 judges....
Judge #3, a volunteer who never had real hot chili didn't make it.
Posting it would get me with many dings........

I grew up on chili made with Kroger chili mix. A few years ago my brother and I were in the International Chili Society World Championship cookoff in Omaha and we were going around sampling chili. At one place, when we sampled the chili, we both said, "This is Mom's chili!" Our mother had passed in 1991 but we could still remember the flavor of her chili.
In Cinci, which one?
Starline or Goldstar.
Don't forget Empress!
I've eaten chili all my life. Beans, no beans, it doesn't matter to me. Also venison, Elk, bear, beef, etc. It's all good. Had bear stew over the weekend, Delicious.
