Shhh Chilli secrets revealed.

[ThatOneDude]

Just put mine on to simmer. Substituted the ground beef and sausage with 4lbs of chuck, and a naked fattie that I smoked yesterday.

OP, looks like a good recipe. Since you said this is a competition recipe, how do you deal with the seeds in the canned stewed tomatoes?

Here in Iowa no one ever said anything about the seeds, Is that a issue in other states?

I think it turned out fantastic! A large pot is now sitting in our break room for a chili cook off in approx 8 minutes! I'll let you know how it does!

For grins, my families first words were "it's really good, but where are the beans?" :doh: :laugh:

All depends on who eats it for me, For me I like a local itl sausage company http://www.grazianobrothers.com/ But most think its to spicy.. so I add just plain ground pork.

I'll be buying the stuff to make some this weekend. Looks like a big recipe, so I think I'll be doing half.

It does end up making enough for two large crockpots to keep warm.. I usually make then freeze some of it for later..

Picked up a chuckie and some ground hot italian sausage. I think I'm going to cube the chuckie as small as I can

To whomever suggested chocolate and cinnamon uke: You must be from Cincinnati

Love kidney and black beans in chili.

My recipe is usually made with ground beef and pork. Switched it up this weekend and used a pork butt I smoked and froze a month or so ago, along with ground beef. Came out amazing. My recipe usually turns out a little on the loose side but the shredded pork tightened this batch up a lot and added great flavor. Will do again

Chocolate is great in chili and in moderation so is cinnamon. Regionally, I think of Mexico instead of Cincinnati for the inspiration of the two ingredients.

As I promised, some pr0n from my cook. I made a half batch. I started out with a 2.25# chuckie and cut it into cubes from 1/4 to 3/8 inches in size, then I heavily cold smoked them for ~1 hour using pecan chips (used about 3 handfuls over 6 coals of kingsford). From there I browned them on the stove, and my god did that smell good! Browned up 1# of hot italian sausage, then sweated the veggies down real good. The only other changed I made to the recipe was I used Hot Mexican style chili powder, chipotle flakes instead of red pepper, and I substitued one of the cans of stewed tomatoes with diced tomatoes w/chipotle. It's still simmering on the stove so I can't yet tell you how it tastes, but it smells real nice. I'll report back in a couple hours! Now, the pr0n:

Great thread on chili!
Bookmarked for future chili projects! :thumb:

Well, it's finished. And I've got to say it's pretty damn good! I did end up adding about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of salt as well to fit my taste. I really like the idea of using V8...how have I never thought of that?...It adds a little bit of body to the recipe. I for sure will be making this again, and tweaking as I go with each make. Thanks for the recipe!
