nuts to that image, but i did make chili last night. instant pot, i use this recipe: https://www.budgetbytes.com/slow-cooker-vegetarian-lentil-chili/. i use dry beans so just increase the water by 3.5 cups, cook 10 minutes and slow release. sautee the onions and garlic first as well as any meat if you want. tossed a few habaneros in there as well. really good

Green beans and corn are weird chili ingredients. So is all the sugar and flour. And there's not even any chilies in that chili.

My god, just post a recipe. It's not funnier to have an angry comic man drawn over the recipe.

Let's talk about chili.

My work had an annual chili cooking contest. I somehow won the "non-standard" chili award by making standard chili, but using bison meat and adding chunks of mango. I don't get it.

This was posted in Goons With Spoons about 10 years ago and its still my favourite chili recipe

theysayheygreg posted:

I don't know if this particular recipe was posted in the last thread, but it's something I've been making for quite some time and I absolutely love it. I got it from a poster by the name of Slake over at Elitist Jerks. It's a 3-meat texas-style chili, super hearty and delicious. I make a big pot probably once a month during the winter for warmth and sustenance. (terrible phone photo warning:)



Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 12 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed, cut into 1/2 cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans beef broth
  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans whole tomatoes, drained
  • 1/2 (12 oz) can Coca-Cola
  • 1/2 (12 oz) can beer (your choice here, doesn't have a huge impact what you use, just make sure it's not too lovely)
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2-4 green jalapenos, slit lengthwise 3 times each (alternately, 1 habanero and 1 jalapeno)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Some notes:
  1. You can tailor the meat to your budget. I always get nice sirloins cut up at my butcher, but any old stew meat will work (round, etc). I prefer spicy pork chorizo (again, my butcher makes it) because the chicken stuff doesn't taste right to me. I often substitute ground buffalo for ground beef if I can find it.
  2. You can tailor the recipe to your :effort: level. You can make your own chili powder for instance. Or make your own beef stock.
  3. The Coca Cola is there for sugar and a bit of acidity, but I often omit it and just use a whole beer. I usually make it with a brown ale, something Newcastle-y. Up to your tastes. I wouldn't use a stout personally, but a porter might be interesting.
  4. This is a very mild recipe. I usually use 2 habaneros (seeded, diced) and 3-4 jalapenos (sliced). I like my chili hot.
  5. I usually add 2 cans of red beans loosely drained. Begin beans/no beans debate :supaburn:

Directions:
  • Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Brown the sirloin in
    batches. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add ground beef, chorizo and onions to the pot and brown. Make sure to break up the meat.



  • Return sirloin to the pot and stir in remaining ingredients, except for garnishes.



  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer for 3-5 hours (longer is better). Stir occasionally, breaking up tomatoes.



  • Before serving, discard cinnamon stick and bay leaves (and habanero if you didn't dice them, don't want someone biting into that!). Garnish with cheese and sour cream, if desired.

I don't have a finished picture, but I'll try and remember to grab some the next time I make a batch. It does reduce and thicken up quite a bit, and to be honest, I think it's best the next day after it's been in the fridge. This is enough to feed a single dude like myself for like a week straight.

chili recipes always have nowhere near enough cumin for me, I think I end up adding at least a tablespoon extra whenever I cook it. it's like the signature chili flavor !!

Yeah, and it's weird, because that and the tomatoes are the part that makes it taste like chili.

there's a wide range of flavors of chili if you aren't just using generic Chili Powder. cumin always tastes like cumin, and is the link between all chilis. i hope this helps u.

I made this chili last week, it was pretty good, the corn worked out somehow. I didn't use jalapeno powder, and I put in some concentrated tomato paste and a can of Ro-Tel Chilies & Tomatoes. I also used sweet Italian sausage, and it was tasty. gently caress yeah.

Tall Corn Pork Chili
From Chili Nation by: Jane and Michael Stern

1/4 cup chopped onions
1 clove minced garlic
2 T corn oil
2 pounds boneless pork, trimmed of fat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 tsp salt (I used chicken bouillon, which already has salt in it.)
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 T sugar
4 T chili powder
1/2 T green jalapeno powder
one 14-ounce can chicken broth
one 15-ounce can tomato sauce
one 4 1/2 ounce can chopped green chilies, drained
1 T masa harina dissolved in 1/4 cup water.

In a Dutch oven, cook the onions and garlic in the oil until soft. Add the pork. Cook until browned; then remove the pot from the heat. Add the salt, celery salt, oregano, sugar, chili powder, and jalapeno powder; stir well. Add the broth, 1 1/2 cups water, tomato sauce, and chilies. Return to the heat, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a slow simmering boil. Cook, partially covered, for 1 hour. Add the corn and cook 15 more minutes. Add the masa harina mixture, cook 5 minutes more.

I dunno, people who like green beans? there's a georgian / caucasian thing with ground lamb or beef, green beans, tomato, and plenty of cumin that you might like since you're a fan of cumin. Kinda chili-adjacent.


But mostly I like to draw attention to the corn thing because when people start making pronouncements about what can and can't go in chili, it is an actual example of culinary cultural appropriation. Mostly I think cultural appropriation is garbage when it comes to food, since people have been sharing cuisines and ingredients for all time. For chili it really fits. A bunch of texans made a chili, based on mestizo and native american food that had been around long long before they showed up. And then they / their cultural descendants try to erase anything else from being called 'chili'. That's some genuine-rear end cultural appropriation, taking something and saying "this isn't yours, it's ours and only ours".

Of all the many things wrong with that old recipe, one of the worst is that they use two pans. You make chili in one goddamn pan and layer those flavors. The people who invented chili would have had one pan.

I think I'm gonna make that kenji pressure cooker chili, that looks pretty solid and I don't really mess with my onepot whatever dealie enough. Probably modify it a little as some of it looks a bit...generic, but overall you can't really miss with kenji stuff.
