Yummy.
into making chili, the first batch of the season. It's 37*F this AM.
Now gotta wait for 7PM dinner while the house just REEKS of great chili bubbling along. :cry: :cry:
2 lb ground meat (I prefer Venison)
1 lb hot sausage
1 small bottle Heinz 57 or A-1 steak sauce
2 cans (or 1 large) Ro-Tel tomatos with green chilis (or 1 large can crushed tomatos)
2 cans (or 1 large) tomato sauce
1 bottle, dark, bock-style beer ( I like Shiner Bock or Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager (Amber Bock is OK too))
2 cans chopped mushrooms
1 large red onion, chopped and fried
3 to 5 cloves diced garlic, fried
3 cans Ranch Style pinto beans with sliced Jalapeno chilis
1/3 cup chili powder
1 Tablespoon each .... Cumin, Coriander, Oregano
1/2 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 additional fresh Jalepeno pepper, ends cut off, halved,
and seeded (similar to a bay leaf in function)
Brown meat, drain
Brown Sausage, drain
Return meats to skillet, add steak sauce, saute to cook in,
put in crock pot
Brown onions, mushrooms, and garlic, add to pot
Add all other ingredients to crock pot (fills a 6-qt near the rim)
Cook at least 8 hours to allow spices to blend
If too thick, add beer
If too thin, thicken with a mesa-flour and water paste (don't use too much, is best to cook down to thicken)
Yummy.
I love chili bud. FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Sounds Yummy. Perfect weather for chili
that sounds good
i agree it was 47 this morning...had to go back in for a RAIDERS beanie chili sounds like a winner
Sounds good. May have to try that.
Does sound good, indeed.
Cindy made her first batch of the year last week.
Nothing like chili and fresh, hot cornbread on a cold evening.
Apparently, word leaked to the #1 son in Reno, and her made a stealth trip down to snag the leftovers the next day when nobody was home guarding it.
I was lettting it ferment in the fridge for a couple of days, and was then going to pour the stuff onto a hunk of BBQ tri-tip.
Dammit.
Gonna hafta changes the locks, I guess. Nobody can keep a friggin' secret around here for more than five frigging minutes.
