Day off Chili Thread

[xanis]

Making some chili on my day off today. This is my first time using a crockpot so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it turns out well. Anyone else making some chili today (or made some recently)?

1.5 lbs ground turkey
2 cloves garlic
1 white onion
1 cubanelle pepper
1 Italian long hot pepper
1 can bacon + brown sugar beans
1 can chili hot beans
1 can Rotelle (diced seasoned tomatoes and green chilies)
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 large helping of chili powder
1 tbsp cumin (roughly)

I made some chili yesterday but I took the lazy route:
1 pound ground turkey, browned
2 cans of great northern beans
8oz hot chunky salsa
8oz cubed cheddar cheese
8oz frozen corn kernels
a dash of cumin

Got the idea from here.

Easiest chili to make!

Insert general snide comment about chili and beans here.

Looks like it will be tasty, though.

Served with cheese and saltine crackers? If not I am disappoint.

 

[vi edit]

eff Texas. And their chili. I like beans in mine.

I'll admit that the last couple chilis I made I cheated. I used a prepackaged seasoning kit. But I'll also admit that it makes one of my favorite "bases" for chili that I've ever had.

Shore Lunch Chili kit
http://www.molnaroutdoor.com/cart/SL-Chili1_400%5B1].gif

Here's what I did this weeking
- 1 packet of that Shore Lunch
- Add in a can of Rotel Tomatoes & Habaneros
- 1 pound of ground burger browned up with a sweet yellow onion and a jalapeno or two tossed in while it simmers
- 1/2 a smoked kielbasa sausage
- 1 big can of tomato sauce
- 1 small can of chipotle sauce
- 1/2 a cup of BBQ sauce of choice
- 1 tbl sugar
- Can kidney beans
- Can black beans
- Can of chili beans in hot sauce

------------------
Simmer on stove for 1/2 hour
Throw outside overnight to cool
Reheat the next day for football games served with some shredded pepper jack and crackers...

Yum!

OP that's soup you made, it doesn't even resemble Chili.

Cheese is in the fridge and saltines are in the cabinet.

Weren't you the guy who posted in one of these threads with a recipe that had sugar and no cumin? Because I don't consider that chili, I call that an abomination. To each his own though. That's the beauty of chili, you can change a lot and make it how you like.

Chili is meat + peppers + spices. Just because it's socially acceptable by most to put beans and other shit in it. That's doesn't make it right. Op made Chili with beans (and other shit) not Chili.

Chili con carne (often known simply as chili) is a spicy stew. The name "chili con carne" is taken from Spanish, and means "peppers with meat." Traditional versions are made, minimally, from chili peppers, garlic, onions, and cumin, along with chopped or ground beef. Beans and tomatoes are frequently included. Variations, both geographic and personal, may involve different types of meat as well as a variety of other ingredients. It can be found worldwide in local variations and also in certain American-style fast-food restaurants. The variant recipes provoke disputes among aficionados, and the dish is used as an ingredient in a number of other foods.

if it has beans it's not chili, it is specifically called chili beans. it's not that hard. you added the beans to the chili you can at least add it to the name since it's technically a different dish.

Chili w/o beans sounds kinda boring.

They will never understand that, my neighbor's one of them, yet the fucker got uptight when I gave him a piece of my pizza and didn't disclose that it was white pizza. Apparently the rule of calling a food by it's proper name applies to every known food to man except chili, weird how those people think.

I don't really care. I like beans in there.

*shrug*

I guess. I'm not saying it would be bad, but I like the recipe I make that has beans in it and wouldn't make it without them.

 

[xanis]

Please, enough with the "beans in chili" nonsense.

If you like beans in your chili, add them. If you don't, leave them out. Who the fuck cares? Arguing over the semantics of bean or beanless chili is equally retarded. Call it whatever you want, we'll know what you mean.

WTF is white pizza? Did you punch him in the ovaries for being such a bitch?

People ate "Pizza" before tomatoes were brought back from America, ergo Pizza with tomatoes isn't Pizza?

That is fine, but it's chili beans and not chili that you enjoy.

*shrug*

For sure, I like some chili bean recipes as well and you should make what you enjoy. I'm just saying you most likely haven't had good chili before because you honestly won't even miss the beans.

No it is a different dish. The same way crepes and pancakes are a different dish. You change an integral part of the dish by adding beans which are meant as a meat replacement. The problem doesn't come from you liking chili beans over chili, it just comes from you miss using the term chili to mean chili beans.

people in the barrio in SA did not call it 'chili beans' when they added frijoles into their red. that term originated in the eastern part of the country, so it's a bunch of yankee bs as far as i'm concerned.

Never in my nearly 33 years of existence on this planet have I ever heard it called "chili beans".

If someone asked me if I was having chili beans I'd look at them like they were retarded. The chili beans go in the chili. That pot on the stove simmering isn't "chili beans"...it's chili.
