Man I'm craving a bowl of good chili....

I made a couple batches the last week:

20oz pinto beans cooked in Instant Pot with ~3T New Mexico chili powder + some salt added
Fry a diced onion in olive oil, about 3 slices of diced bacon added 1/2 way through, add the beans (I mashed the beans some with a potato masher first).

This in itself is a great chili. Add some ground beef if you like (I didn't).

Refried beans
Servings 6
Author Lisa Fain
Ingredients

1 pound dried pinto beans
1/4 pound salt pork slit with a knife
1/2 medium yellow onion, whole
4 slices uncooked bacon
1/2 cup medium yellow onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

Place the beans in a large pot with the salt and cover with 2 inches of water. You can either soak them overnight or do a quick soak by bringing to a boil and then turning off the heat and letting them sit for an hour.

After soaking, add to the pot the half onion in the pot and the salt pork. Bring beans to a boil, cover and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.
The time it will take to cook the beans will depend on the freshness of the beans and the hardness of your water. If they’re not completely cooked after an hour, let them simmer a while longer until they’re done.

Discard the salt pork and onion and then drain the beans, keeping 1/2 cup of the bean broth.

Cook the bacon in a skillet on medium-low heat, turning once, until crisp and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and save for another use.

Leaving the bacon fat in the skillet, add the diced onion and cook on medium-low for 5 minutes or until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the drained cooked beans into the skillet, adding 1/4 cup of the bean broth. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding more bean broth for desired moisture. Keep stirring the mashed beans in the bacon fat until the texture is a chunky paste. Serve warm.

Anyway can make damn meat sauce and add Chili peppers to it or not. Hormel brand "chili" with or without beans doesn't even have chili peppers which means that isn't even isn't chili at.

It's wise to acquire the relevant facts before posting.

congratulations, you made refried beans. not chili.

Yeah, I guess, kinda... I've done that for years, dozens of times. I made a batch last week and it struck me as terrific chili. Thing is, most time people don't throw in chili powder to their refried beans. I have for many years.

I made a batch this morning, it's absolutely killer and I made the recipe I posted. 90% of it is in the fridge. IMO, it's super better than anything I've ever worked up in the kitchen in terms of chili that I didn't get out of a can of Hormel CCC w/out beans.

and it's still refried beans. i put ancho or jalapeno powder in mine.

i'm sure they're tasty refried beans and i will happily eat a bowl of pintos, but that's not chili.

and if hormel out of a can is better than whatever you're making, you may be in the wrong thread.

You have to forgive whm1974 -- Besides still learning about peppers he is learning about chili...

No, I'm here to learn. I'm sure I could make satisfactory (to me) chili, I just don't know how. May try that recipe posted above by renz20003. It's complicated but I have ALL of that stuff. Well, except the canned tomatoes. I do can my own tomatoes, vine ripened, picked by me. I could use a jar of some of that. Or buy a can.

Before you do that CAREFULLY read reviews of Skyline Chili posted by people who don't live in Cincinnati. The stuff is vile. Kind of like balut, if you didn't grow up eating it you'll have a hard time choking it down. If you like Hormel stick with it. Or at least take Hormel and make it your own. Add some extra chili powder, a little adobo sauce, more garlic, whatever you like to make the flavor more to your liking. You're going to have to do that anyway. There are a gazillion different chili recipes and they're all different. That should tell you something. It's personal, asking for chili recipes is like asking who you should date. Nobody can offer an informed opinion on what you might find palatable. One persons "OMG!! this is so hot!!" is another persons "OMG, this stuff tastes like ketchup".

Point taken, I will NOT make that recipe. TBH I had given up on developing a chili con carne recipe I liked. Never felt I'd come close to Hormel. Now, I have to say, I had a very close girl friend way back when and we agreed that Hormel is the shit, so that's probably got something to do with it.

I personally can vouch for this Chili!! It is Great!!

Well if you like Hormel, but want something a little better, do this

1) The next time you open a can, divide it up into like 5 or 6 portions. To one, add more chili powder, a little cayenne, something to make it hotter. To another add a little bacon or chipotle, something to add some smokiness. To another add some sauteed pepper and onions, etc. See which one you like best.

2) Then find a copycat recipe for Hormel, there are plenty that will get you close to that. Make it and add whatever changes you liked when you doctored the canned version.

That's sorta how I got my chili recipe. Made three different recipes I found online. Kept the one I liked best, threw away the other two. Kept doctoring the best one little by little to get it exactly how I like it. As long as you start with something close to your tastes it's not too hard to get it fine tuned.

Did you post your self-developed recipe in this thread? I'd like to at least see it, maybe try making it!

this recipe is pretty good but should use masa harina instead of oat flour. and probably 4x as much as needed (start with a couple tablespoons instead of going all the way up to a cup - it's there to thicken). also it should be mexican oregano instead of unspecified (which is likely italian)

Totally agree with the Mexican oregano! I will try the Masa Harina instead of the oats! Thx

I didn't realize the distinction between Italian and Mexican oregano. However, I have seen the term Mexican oregano, but it didn't register until seeing this info. I've added the addenda to the recipe, which I've added to my digital recipe file for this just now. Masa harina I have used in the past. I used to make tamale pie.
