Well-known member
quantity for the school's chili dinner tonight. I have a good standard recipe, but I am looking for a great one. I have to do ground beef since the other person is making one with ground turkey. I can add some roast beef to it also. Thanks!

 
Chasen's Chili is really good. Here's my recipe, if you google, there are probably variations.

simplicity but it is fantastic! I just found out that it is the only recipe my EMT/Firefighter neighbors next door firehouse use. I can't recommend it enough.

Pecos Valley Bowl of Red

Sorry folks, you can CALL it chili, but REAL chili does not have tomatoes, green peppers, celery, beans or any of that junk!

You can use all mild chili (ground ancho).

PECOS VALLEY BOWL OF RED (CHILI)
Printed from COOKS.COM
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
3 pounds beef, coarsely ground
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup ground chili peppers, red hot
1/4 cup ground chili peppers, red mild
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
Melt bacon drippings in heavy Dutch oven; add onion and cook about 5 minutes until tender. Mix meat with garlic, chiles and cumin. Add to the onion and cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes until the meat loses its pink color. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered 3 to 4 hours or until the meat is very tender and flavors are well blended, adding more water as needed. Adjust seasonings to taste. Makes 8 servings.

Serving Size: 8

 
Ugh! Beef, chile, cumin, salt, pepper, onion, garlic and water or beer-period!

A hint of Mexican oregano is acceptable as well, but just a hint.

 
The chili dinner was cancelled due to snow. I was actually going to try

the one that barb posted because I don't think I have ever made something out of the Silver Palate cookbooks that I didn't love. Thanks for posting all of the others. They are now in my to try pile.

 
I know, but on barb's recommendation and my past experience with

the Silver Palate cookbooks, I was willing to give it a try. i think I am going to make it for the Superbowl. I will let you know. Thanks again!

 
We do not add olives; sounds funny to me also, we also do not add dill;

Ironically enough, dh the "hunk" (hungarian) had his fill with dill as a kid, and has an extreme dislike for it....SO, as a result, I just ignore dill in a recipe....

I think Chili is one of those dishes that you have preferences. Similiar to Guacomole...(With Tomato, w/o Tomato, with lemon, w/scallion, etc....) You get it...

This is a fun, different chile recipe with sausage, great flavors and can certainly be stretched for your school.

What a nice thing you are doing for your teachers...

 
Quick N Easy

My chili is so simple, no real recipe.

I brown a pound of lean ground beef with a chopped onion and the add one package of McCormick’s original and one package of McCormick’s Hot Chili seasoning mix. Next I add in two cans of red kidney beans and two cans of fire roasted tomatoes. Allow the chili to simmer and the flavors to mix and adjust the seasonings (salt, pepper, etc.) as needed.
