I've never made chili before, and in researching, I came across 50 billion recipies. So, this mornign I made my own in the crock pot...

  • 2 cans of condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can of tomato paste
  • 1 packet of chili mix
  • about ½ cup of water
  • 1 tsp. of beef bullion
  • 1 can light red kidney beans
  • however much ground meat was leftover from last night
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • a dash of cayenne pepper
  • a dash of paprika
  • a dash of garlic


...and I slapped it into the crock pot on low for 8 hours.

Hope it tastes good when I get home. I've got shredded cheddar cheese for the top of it, & Super-Pretzels to go along with it. They always served pretzels & chili in my elementary school cafeteria so they belong together in my warped mind.

I'm just wondering about the tomato soup. I wonder if that will give it too much of a tomato taste.

Well, most of them use tomato paste, soup, sauce, juice, or diced tomatoes as a base... I even saw one that called for Spicy hot V8... and I think my mom always used soup. Tomato paste is usually bitter, so I figured the tomato soup would counteract it. All of the spices should be rockin'. I like my chili thick.

Oh yeah, about 1/2 the ground meat was cooked w/ some seasoning salt & A1.

I usually use 1 pound of ground chuck, a can of petite diced tomatoes, 3/4 cup water, cayenne pepper, a pack of chili mix (French's Chili-O is what I have been digging lately, red kidney beans (drained and rinsed to reduce after-effects) and colby/jack cheese. Sometimes I'll throw a slice or two of Velveeta in while it's cooking to make it a little cheesy and thicker. I know, that's probably gross, right?

If I have more time, I like to do it all from the ground up.

Sometimes I forego the cheese and put sour cream on it.

I dig that. Sour cram on chili is cool when I'm in the mood. I definitely drained the beans. I got a red pepper to cut up & toss in, but I ddn't have time to do it this morning.

I put cumin in becuase I read that it also helps digestion and stops the 'after effects' of kidney beans & chili powder.

I might use diced tomatoes next time.

i'm gonna make some of this for work. I've been hungry for it, Bethany's not a huge chili fan. So, I told the guys here in the back to not bring lunch tomorrow.

Now... should I cook overnight & warm it tomorrow, or cook it on high tomorrow?

I'm gonna say slow & low... but I'm opeing up a discussion to see where I stand.

I made up this white chicken chili that was quite awesome last week. It turned out way hotter than I had anticipated. Laughing

* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
* 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
* 1 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
* 3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
* 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans
* 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese


DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly cook and stir the onion until tender. Mix in the garlic, jalapeno, green chile peppers, cumin, oregano and cayenne. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, chicken and white beans. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove the mixture from heat. Slowly stir in the cheese until melted. Serve warm.

This would be awesome over biscuits, I bet.

I have some white pepper that I just bought. It has an odd taste. I dunno if I like it yet or not.

Here's what basically went into my chili. I'll probably eventually make a blog about it with a narrative so I can remember what I did this time for next time... to see what I wanna change or what I wanna do again.



I ended up only using the one can of diced tomatoes (the one with jalapeños) and still kind've overflowed the pot by a small amount. So, next time I may cut out one can ot tomato soup or a can of beans. Also, I want to try garbonzo beans in my next batch... and I've heard chocolate powder goes good in chili some times... so I wanna try that one day too.

I also tossed in 2 slices of Velveeta ripped apart, a dash of spicy brown mustard, and a drop or 2 of A1 Cracked Peppercorn Steak Sauce.

I think the meat that I used was too fatty or I didn't drain enough fat (...even though I got a about ⅔ of a regular sized plastic cup full of fat out of it). I had to skim some excess grease off of the top when I popped it open this morning.

I'll let you know the general consensus after it's been consumed.

That would be sweet. We did that at my friend's house one summer and it was awesome.

That chili looks bangin!

One of Jody's friends hosts a chili cook off every year and he was excited to hear that I make chili. They're always looking for more contestants too.

Thanks. I'd be down, but I dunno if my chili is cookoff quality. Ha ha ha.

Next time, this needs to be thicker, I think.

I'm really concerned about the tomato soup and the Red Hot. In my mind those items don't seem to fit.

Heh. The Red Hot just adds a little kick. The condensed tomato soup is juts like using paste, only it's not as bitter.

The consensus at work is that it's good chili with some heat but not overdoing it.

The reason that I question the Red Hot is because I think that it might add the wrong kind of kick. Red Hot always seems to add a vinegary taste to things. That can work at times. I'm sure this is probably really good.

Yeah. Things in combination work weird. Ha ha ha. You definitely could not single out the Red Hot here.

I'd like to go ahead and beg to differ on that one. I have an uncanny ability for picking out things contained within things that have been cooked. Cool

Well, each person tastes different, so I won't argue with you there. Ha ha ha.

I have been told that I made the chili my bitch today. I think that's good? Laughing
