I know some of you guys got some good chili recipes. Anyone care to share? Its that right time of year for chili. Gotta love chili on a ice cold snowy winters day:D
 
pick out your favorite recipe, and replace the hamburg with venison ( deer ) instead. i'll see if my mom can send me her chili recipe, hers is awesome, ever since i was a little kid i could never pass up on her chili, i'll have her email it to me and i'll copy and paste it here. she uses hamburg in hers, but i made her recipe and used venison instead mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm now i want some.
 
Cool!

I dont have a recipe:D I just toss anything tomato related into a crock pot ( tomato soup, paste, sauce, and spaghetti sauce:shifty: ) along with what ever herbs and spices we have and Caribbean jerk and some hot sauce with beef. Sometimes Ill use ground turkey or sausage. Sometimes I dont even use beans:lol: it all depends on how much I have been craving chili dogs that week!


Ill know it was a good batch if the kids and even the ferret clear the room;)
 
+1 on the Shelby mix. The Jerk sauce is great too. I'm with Werner, I mix in a ton of different spices. After enough experiments you'll learn the right balance for your tastes ( and the rest of the family:D ) I love fresh cornbread with mine. I like thick chili, so I learned to mix in a slice of cornbread with the chili when I serve it right before I put any toppings on. It sounds a little gross but tastes great. Fresh beerbread is also a great dipper too. Don't forget freshly greated pepper jack or colby. I don't really have an official recipe, sorry. Keep the ideas going and we'll all have some new stuff to try. I think I need to go make some chili now. MMmmmmmmm chili;)

haha... today Im experimenting with Half&Half for thickness and 1 lb of cooked bacon:D Needless to say when I make chili its all we eat for the rest of the week.
 
I recommended my chili to the kids when they were feeling sick. They got better soon after(naturally)and atributed it to the chili. Now whenever my son sees me making chili he runs into the kitchen and says in his deepest voice(hes only 5) "Magic Chiiillllllllliiiiii!" with his arms out like hes presenting an award.:rolleyes: :D He cracks us up.
 
Almost forgot, try Lindt Dark chocolate Chili flavor. My wife found it for me. Good stuff if you like both flavors! Yes its a chili flavored chocolate bar.:D
 
I do not like the Shelby Chili mix.
I do not like the flavor of it. Of the mixes, the inexpensive little packets of chili seasoning you find with the McCormick gravy mixes are very good.

I have to agree with McCormick mix... Sometime the simple mix makes it good. But I tend to add little things here and there so I don't have a recipe..

I also find that there is a big difference between the different brands of diced tomatos, sauces, and beans..

I also agree that putting venison in instead of beef really improves the chile.

Bite me kid

Minnesota, Hennepin
Winter Weather Advisory, Wind Chill Advisory
Statement as of 11:38 AM CST on January 12, 2009

Expires 10:00 AM EST on January 13, 2009



... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight CST
tonight...
... Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect from midnight tonight to
9 am CST Tuesday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight CST
tonight. A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect from midnight
tonight to 9 am CST Tuesday.

Snow will continue across central and eastern Minnesota through
mid-afternoon with snowfall rates being heavy at times. Rates
will approach one inch an hour during this afternoon... including
in the Twin Cities Metro area. Snowfall amounts of one to three
inches have been reported from this morning. One to three
additional inches are expected this afternoon. This will lead to
storm total snowfalls of three to six inches. The higher totals
are likely from the Twin Cities southward towards Owatonna. The
snow will end late this afternoon into early evening... however
northerly winds will increase in speed. Gusts of 30 mph or more
will lead to blowing and drifting of the fresh powdery snow
through this evening. In addition... much colder air on the
northwest winds will create dangerous wind chills by tonight
throughout the entire region. Wind chill readings of 25 to 35
below zero are expected from this evening through Tuesday morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow means that
visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and
blowing snow. Use caution when traveling... especially in open
areas.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.

2 inches sat.
Today its 2 PM and there is 6 on the ground and it still snowin.

I had to go home today and Make some chile

The bacon worked out great!

Next is venison, but I need to find a place to get some since I dont own the equipment to hunt for my own:(


Unless I dive out of trees with a combat knife. Maybe I can hit a few deers with my LS.:shifty:

Theres your excuse;)

chicken, the bacon was freaking great but you need lots of it. The wife wanted to kick my ass when she came home and found out how much I used:D I wouldnt put it in until its almost done or it kind of loses the flavor. I still have some chili from that day in the freezer:lol:
