what goes into your chili? (now with poll)

[nageov3t]

this is my usual chili recipe... probably sacrilige to most, but it's got beans *and* tomatoes, along with onions (I also up the spice and put more chili peppers into it than the recipe calls for)

meat + chilis + Masa, I don't put beans in Chili just like I don't put beans on a Pizza.

[artvscommerce]

some of the more odd things that I like to add are black coffee, a heavy stout or porter, and a little steak sauce.

Everything but meat.

A friend of mine made a weird southwest style shepherds pie yesterday. It had turkey, beans, taco seasoning mix, and other veggies. It was topped with potato, smooshed cauliflower, and a bit of kale. Strange concoction, but it tasted great, and was kind of chili-like.

If you're making it from scratch and you add beans, make sure to ventilate the gas in beans by soaking them in water 12+ hrs before...otherwise you'll blow up like a balloon....and everyone WILL know it. :whiste:

 

[AmdEmAll]

Beans and Tomatoes belong in chili.

Some nice extra sharp cheddar cheese grated on top doesn't hurt either.

 

[Anubis]

everything goes in
including beans, corn, bell peppers, onions,....

I've been making this recipe for over 10 years. It is certainly unique, and has a nice blend of sweet and spice. It contains uncommon ingredients such as dark beer, coffee, and cocoa powder.

Just got done making chili.

Ground Pork
Mild Sausage
Ground Chicken
3 packs of chili seasoning
2 cans of diced tomatoes
Green pepper, red pepper, mushrooms, and white onions


Depending on how thick it turns out, I add a little tomato paste.


Top it with pepper jack, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips.

 

[QueBert]

Poll's flawed, it should have an option for "meat only" and "meat and beans" what kind of fuckshit puts beans but not meat?

Vegetarians....

 

[QueBert]

Vegetarians....

Then they're eating soup and not Chili and this poll doesn't apply to them. If you add beans to Chili it's called Chili with BEANS. They're an addition that has nothing to do with Chili some people just like them for whatever reason. If you remove the meat it'd just a bowl of beans. The tern vegetarian chili's a lie like a female who claims to be a born again virgin.

Bullshit. Chili's just a made up concoction to allow poor people the ability to use the meager supplies they have on hand. It slowly standardized around a common set of ingredients, but they aren't the only ingredients that can be used, and they aren't the only ingredients that are historically proper.

 

[ElFenix]

as far as vegetable content:
dried chiles
onions
garlic

if i feel like it:
fresh chiles
tomatoes (this makes it perdenales chili rather than proper texas red)
kidney or pinto beans

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Lots of meat, lots of onions, lots of various peppers, light on the tomatoes, no beans. Actually, wait, that's not 100% true. I don't use kidney beans or pinto beans, but I make the broth with beef, beer and coffee, so technically there are coffee beans.

anything I can find. I tend to use Guinness instead of water, too.

yeah... no.

it'd be like throwing tomatoes in new england clam chowder. it's no longer new england clam chowder when you put tomatoes in it.

chili is not gumbo where the only rule is first you make a roux.

New England clam chowder is very specific. If you put tomato in it, it would be Manhattan clam chowder. Chili con carne is also specific, in that it needs meat and chili at a minimum to satisfy the description. Chili is generic, and can be used for any chili-like thing you throw together, with only requirement being chili.
