Papa's Chili

[jimLE]

here's one i came across on the internet


Serving Size / Yield
10-12
Ingredients

• 2-4 lb. ground chuck
• 4 cans tomato sauce
• 1 medium can tomato paste
• 1 large can tomatoes
• 3-4 Tbs. chili powder
• 1 large onion
• 4 cans chili beans
• 1-2 tsp. hot sauce (I use Texas Pete but any kind will do)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
In pan cook meat and onion. Drain grease. Add 1 can tomato sauce and 1 Tbs. chili powder. In large pot add 3 cans tomato sauce, can of tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 Tbs. chili powder and salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat. Add 4 cans chili beans and the meat and onion mixture you cooked in the beginning. You can add more chili powder and hot sauce to your taste. Let simmer on low heat 2-5 hours. The longer it cooks the better it is I think.

Similar to my recipe, but I always use venison instead of beef.

Next time I make up a batch I'll try to record how much of what I put in it. It's different every time because I'm always improvising. When I can find it, poblano pepper powder (AKA ancho chile) is the main seasoning instead chili powder, along with red habanero sauce, and red curry powder. If I can't find it, I use chili powder.

It's definately chili weather! Anyone else ever throw in spaghetti noodles? I guess it's a Kentucky thing. Just makes it a little heartier.

Never heard to the spaghetti noodle thing. We do put rice in ours though, which is something I had never heard of doing until I hit my college days, but then both my parents were Yankee . . . When I worked Bible School, the pastor would feed the workers each night and when he made chili he brought potato salad to put in it so o o o o each to there own, but I'll stick to my rice.

i hadn't heard of putting rice into chili for some time...

 

[DrHenley]

We eat chili over rice. If you knew how spicy my chili is, you would understand...

I think that's the idea of pasta or rice, it tones it down a little, and makes it heartier. I always say, don't knock it till you try it.

I once got into making serious competition style chilis - there's a website - international chili society, iirc.

No matter how well I followed the recipes, I always found them to be "meh". It's the ones like in the OP that take the cake. Dump on some sour cream, shredded chedder, and a few corn chips and I'm in heaven.
