[emil.glatz]

Meathead's Texas Chili is pretty good.

[Pirate Scott]

I just made some with ecowper recipe and it is Very Good! I will look for the post.

[CaptainMike]

I second that!

[JCBBQ]

Try Meathead's recipe. I just made it yesterday. It's REALLY good.

Here’s the classic bowl of red:

Cubed beef. Onions, poblanos. Garlic. Cumin, Mexican oregano, dried ancho chile powder, salt, pepper. Water or beer, masa to thicken at the end.

No proportions, start with as much beef as you want to feed people, then add the other stuff until it looks and tastes right. Three pounds of beef will take two or three decent sized onions, that should get you started. Don’t forget the first rule of garlic, which is to use at least twice as much as you think you should, then a little more just to be sure (in other words, a clove or two don’t cut it here).

[Mosca]

My friend at Scrumptious Chef lays down the rules for Texas Red. I break them by adding the onions and poblanos, but chili is personal.

Mosca I use V8 as well, the low sodium version. I have been using V8 for probably 30 years or more. Back when you could actually get a 64 oz. can.

Okay, Steve, thanks for asking!

I've made MH Texas red, Detroit Coney and all purpose hot dog. Awesome stuff.

Remember the days back before we had the internet. If we wanted a recipe we went to a cookbook. The one I went to was called "Chili Madness" and it quickly became my favourite for a lot of reasons. Lots of chili recipes, some very easy, some more complicated. All unique in their own way. I purchased the book in 1980.

Your query made me think about the book. I searched Amazon to see if it was still available and lo and behold there is a 2nd edition (2008) I didn't know about. 130 "new" recipes. I'm sure you will find something that may interest you. I'm going to order it as soon as I'm finished posting this reply.

Thanks for the link, rodkeary. I've ordered that book. I'm always on the lookout for good chili recipes.

In the interest that one good chili cookbook deserves another, back in the day, I enjoyed the Chili Nation cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767902637...7666346&sr=1-1

I've never been a fan of "white chili" because, honestly, the name is so off-putting. I know people love it, including my kids. But give me a chili that at least has some beef and Ro-Tel in it and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like another "chili" cookbook will be on it's way to my house.

[HouseHomey]

Ro-Tel was a secret weapon of my grandma when I was a kid. Then with leftovers of salsa, toms and peppers n beans and the like she would make her own Rotel for the next meal(s). Kind of like a curry I guess.

[Mr. Bones]

Mexican Mulligan Stew!
All cultures have them. Curry, gumbo, etc., usw, ad infinitum, when ya' start lookin'!
Fervently wish I coulda ever tasted yer grandma's chili, but bettin' I can taste a lot of it in yers, Brother!
Gotta go scope out some chili book links on Amazon, now! Ta ta!

Oh, gosh, HouseHomey. I've always told my husband that if I were ever on death row ( ) , my last meal would be a foot-long chili dog, eaten veeeery sloooowly .

[HouseHomey]

Yesssss! That Detroit Coney chili is AMAZING! We do serious damage to the 4packs of Hebrew Nats here. Jeeze that's only 28 hot dogs.

Yep, that’s the one. Winner winner Chili Dinner

[ecowper]

The best thing about it is that you get to cook bacon, smoke meat, and make chili. It's a 3fer!

[lonnie mac]

I posted this one the other day somewhere on here. I use Chuck Eye steak. This is a screenshot of my competition chili. There are no beans in competition chili.

[ecowper]
