>also checked
>>7416516
I do my own style, which is a mix of a few different things I've read on the internet. Probably doesn't count as a chilli anymore, but I like it.
Anyway:
Meat (Minced or cubed, beef is good, mixed is okay)
1x red bell pepper
1x yellow bell pepper
1 white onion
3 cloves of garlic
1x canned kidney beans
1x canned black beans
2x canned diced tomatoes
1x glass of olives
1 cup of broth (chicken, beef, vegetable, bouillon, it doesn't matter that much)
1 bottle of Guinness
Let that simmer for a couple of hours.

The joy of cooking recipe here: https://joyofcooking.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/chili-con-carne-page-671-and-jalapeno-corn-bread/
To that I add 3 finely diced habaneros, 6 if I add beans. Served straight up no rice.
>>7416601
regarding the canned diced tomatoes. I'd recommend you to use Contadina diced tomatoes. Not pureé, not crushed. Since I'm very confident about it's sodium content I wouldn't add too much salt to the chili, otherwise it could end very salty. Be careful, anon.
There's three things you never want to see in chili
>beans
>meat
>distinguishable veggies
True chili is just a blend of tomato puree and, as the name implies, chilis. Anything else is a bastardization of form.
>>7416522
>i am a better
>>7416575
when your almost done have somebody else taste it for you to see if it needs more chili powder, salt, heat, seasonings in general
your taste buds may be sated and you need someone with a fresh palate so you don't over season or make it too hot where it's not enjoyable to eat
>Americans get elitist over shitty Mexican food
Fucking pathetic.

whatever you do, don't add fucking cumin
Lazy Brown Bean Chili
2 Cans Black Beans
2 Cans Black Beans Seasoned
2 Cans petite Diced tomatoes - drained
1lb of 80/20 ground beef
1 onion - chopped thin
3 garlic cloves - diced
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
2 Tbsp Cumin
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder. Simmer for a few hours.
It's a good and cheap base to start from for adjusting things to your taste. Once there, you can swap in better ingredients.
Nuke the onions and tomatoes for 14 minutes.
Brown the ground beef.
Combine all ingredients in large pot, medium heat to bring to a boil, then let simmer for a few hours.
I only get compliments from this recipe as long as I let people know it's not meant to be a spicy chili.
>>7416855
what? no cumin? fuck you.
What species of chilli to use?
I usually use an ancho, a chipotle, and a handful of little piquins to give explosions of heat.
>>7416661

I don't use her recipe but this is pretty interesting
don't you guys add cocoa or dark chocolate? Did this yesterday for the first time and it was so much better than the other times. Thought this was pretty standard.

Congrats, you made mole.
>>7420776
like i say, i don't use the recipe but its an interesting article
>easy to make with relatively abundant and tolerable results
>espoused by nu-chefs as some god-tier food on the level of bacon and nutella
I fucking hate chili merely for the autistic cancer-chefs who post daily chili threads, all with the SAME FUCKING EXACT BASIC-BITCH RECIPE:
>fry ground beef, onions, and supermarket spices
>bring to simmer in big pot with le beans/no beans meme and tomato
>think ur good at cooking
Truly a meme food.
I prepared a pot for my tabletop group following this recipe today http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/11/real-texas-chili-con-carne.html
Right now it is more like a hot beef soup. Already went against the 'authentic Texas chili' meme and added some tomato paste but I'm still contemplating dumping a can of tomatoes in there
>>7420843
>hot beef soup
first time making chili I suppose
take it off the heat and let it cool in the fridge overnight, it'll taste much better in the morning.
>>7420868
>first time making chili I suppose
first time without a tomato base, yeah
that's good, looking forward to it then. I was a bit worried.
>>7420875
>that combination of dried and fresh different varieties of chili
>fish sauce and masa harina
That looks like a pretty Patrician recipe
do post results when you're done.
Don't listen to people who use beans, beans aren't good. Also don't listen to people who say: "But that's not real chili!" Nobody gives a fuck, real chili isn't good.

Use only fresh dried chilis, at least 3 varieties to make your chili powder. Use good quality oregano, mexican variety of possible. Use chunks of meat like beef and lamb, use ground pork as well. Beans are completely optional. I cook mine in a heavy le cruset dutch oven in a 300 degree oven to simmer. A small bit of cinnamon will knock the flavor up a bunch. A good quality chocolate will do the same, particularly with black beans.

>>7418662
If you buy chili powder you have failed.
I mean if you really want to do something special why not braise half a hog with a bunch of smoked chilis, toss in some maters and garlic and call it a day?
>>7421246
>ground pork
bolognais
>cinnamon
moussaka
>chocolate
holy mole
>black beans
feijoada
What the fuck are you cooking man?
>>7416516
beans if you want them. roasted frozen corn if you wanted. Fresh toast your spices in oil if you want the best results. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, warm spices if you are into that. Garlic, celery seed, onion, cumin, all nice.
Brown beef alb in a skillet.
Add 2 onions and a 2 cloves of garlic.
Add spices to taste.
Add a beer and about 2 cups of tomatoes of your choice. Add cornstarch (2tsp) Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Add frozen corn, beans, cheese, sour cream, at the end. I think adding quark at the end instead of sour cream would be nice. Just what came to mind. Depends how classic you want it I guess. Can just be a chuck roast stew with minimal tomato and no beans or a full tomato, corn, bean ground beef stew or a pasty ground beef warm spice Greek chili. I also like layering cornbread (make or buy), cheese, and sour cream in a mason jar.
>>7416589
no spices?
>>7421246
That sounds delicious. I wanna write that down to make next time. Would it be huge heresy to add pineapple?
