Made another 40 dollar pot of chili

Something isn't "more nutritious" because it contains less sodium. You're going to add salt to the dish anyway, and can easily buy low sodium canned beans if it's really a thing with you.

Except if you're not going to add any salt or a minimum. And while tomatoes come with a 'no salt added' it is not always an option with other canned goods.

Canned food isn't as salty as reputed. The salt comes in canned prepared food like soup and spam. Regular food like vegetables has nominal salt added, and is less than most people would add, except for those on extreme diets.

This. When I make chilli it's less than 400mg for a large serving. I guess that's sort of predicated on making your own seasoning though.

I just made a $200 bag of trail mix. Om nom nom

I just woke up freaking out on my nephew because i couldn't find the the pack of smokes he was supposed to go to the store for..apparently i'm a blind man and its true.

 

[Mayne]

I did the math.

This is true. Read the new nutritional guidelines:

Fat isn't bad.

Salt isn't bad.

Sugar is what kills.

Carson Dyle's recipe isn't bad. Sometimes I'll use canned beans, sometimes dried. There is a distinct difference in taste and texture, but convenience matters too.

I'd prefer to go with lean ground beef. Depending on the sodium in the canned tomatoes, I might add some. If I am using tomatoes from my garden, I'd definitely add salt. I'd probably add some herbs, like tarragon or thyme. Also, I like a sweeter taste. I'll add brown sugar to the mix. I sometimes squeeze in some lemon, if one is hanging around.

Using potatoes is not something I do, but it doesn't sound horrible either. My preference to serve the chili on a plate of rice, which makes a very filling meal.

Also, I make bigger batches for very little more work. That way you can freeze future meals in containers.

I don't use potatoes in chili, lol. My fridge stopped working some time shortly after finishing my batches of chili. Now I have 2 big ass pots of chili dying a slow death in my million degrees apartment.

Warm milk and and rotting chili for the win

You didn't put hot containers into the fridge, did you?

 

[ultimatebob]

Mayne didn't give us his chili recipe, so I'm assuming that it's half a dozen cans of Hormel and a gallon of cheap Vodka to drink with it

For me, that acidity is key. I add both a vinegar based hot sauce like Tabasco or Crystal, and also a generous amount of red wine vinegar. Usually a little sugar, just to taste, depends a bit on how sweet the tomatoes are. Spices I use are usually chile powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, a little oregano, and then a touch of cinnamon. Lots of fresh garlic.

I did...fuck me!

No, but your fridge may be.

Unplug it for an hour, then try it again.

Good luck!

[Skel]

When I was younger my best friend's dad did chili cookoffs. As such I was raised to believe that there was no greater sin than to add beans to chili. It's funny how I still cringe when I see it listed in any chili recipe.

Yeah, beans in chili is considered Heretical in many places.

My wife just has an aversion to beans in general for some reason.

I usually make soup beans and ham or black beans and Andouille etc for myself, or a big pot and trade some with my sister-in-law for her chili.

Look up and write down the poison or medical hotline. If you croak, who is going to create all these crappy (no pun intended) threads?

Mushrooms and bell pepper in chili?

Blasphemy!

Sounds more like you fucked up spaghetti sauce.

After the 2nd ingredient on his list it was already a lost cause, the rest is just adding more fuck to the fuckery that already existed.

 

[Bubblehappy]

1lb of ground beef to almost 4lbs of beans? That's fucked up. I'm not totally against beans in chili (I like both versions of chili) but that's way too many fucking beans. And mushrooms? What's wrong with you man?

Ok ok, Ive heard about the the "no beans" in chili rule. I personally like beans. Muchrooms, never heard that ingredient in chili. But no peppers? Bell peppers are a staple in chili

 

[Mayne]

god fucking forbid if i add some healthy, tasteful ingredients to my world class chili...get over yourselves..whats worse? beer snob or chili snob?

Bell peppers aren't chili peppers, so it is strange.


anyway, isn't it a bit weird that Mayne is the most level-headed poster in this thread?

:hmm:

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

so where is this recipe? I am a fairly good cook and I enjoy seeing new recipes. But judging on the op's history, I doubt anything good will come from it.
