I've never made chilli before , only green chili with hatch peppers so I need a recipe and guidance . The more labor intensive the better , fresh is always king. I want to make this with my hate for the other grades. Help me GD chilli gods , your my only hope.

I'll save myself some time.
Here's the how and the why Here's the actual recipe There's certainly TONS of room for variation here (and he does a few things I find wholly unnecessary), but this is essentially what a proper bowl of red looks like. You can argue over the minutia (and I will), but it's really just a matter of personal preference at that point. He's got the basics 100% covered. The rest is splitting hairs, and making it your own. |

For something different (we just had it for dinner last night and again tonight):
Cream cheese chicken chili. - 2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts - can of black beans drained and rinsed - can of corn (juice included) - can of Rotella tomatoes (juice too) - packet of taco seasoning - packet of ranch seasoning Mix all of that in the crock pot and put a brick of cream cheese on top. When the chicken is done cooking mix the cream cheese into it and shred the chicken with 2 forks. Good to eat as Chili, in a tortilla (with lettuce cheese and tomatoes) or dip with chips. |
