Last week I was throwing together a pot of firehouse chili. Normally I put in some ground beef and some cubed up steak that is grilled rare.
This time I didn't have any steak handy and was poking around in the freezer. I found some pinto beans with ham and the ham bone that my wife had done the last time I smoked a ham.
I though what the hell, I substituted some of the chili beans with the pintos and finished stripping the ham bone. Got about a 1.25 lbs of ham off it. I used the ham in place of the steak and just followed the rest of my recipe as far as peppers and what-not.
I do believe it was the best chili I've ever made. A friend of mine said it was the best chili he'd ever eaten...
Any of you gentlemen ever do anything similar?
