[Panhead John]

[Mr. Bones]

Panhead John, I'm jus a poor ol Ridge Runnin, Stump Jumpin, 6 toed banjo pickin Hillbilly from Muhzurrah, Brother...

We'uns was Po', meanin we couldn't even afford th extry o, an th r on 'poor'

95% of our table meat come from th muzzle end of our bb guns, then rifles, as we got older... but we never, EVER, was so po as to be Possum Po! lol!

My normal meat is smoked pork. A stewed tomato-based chili with a slew of peppers - including Poblano, Anaheim and Hatch when available. Sliced celery too. All the normal chili seasonings, running a bit hot from simple Louisiana Hot Sauce, with lime juice added when it's done simmering all day. Served with cheddar, sour cream and green onion on top. Plenty of simple crackers to crumble in, and CI cornbread on the side.

Sometimes I make a black bean beef chili - a tribute chili of a sort in honor of the signature chili of a place in Carlsbad CA.

[Mr. Bones]

Save me a seat, Brother! I'm only a few hours away...

[DavidNorcross]

ecowper Your ingredients are almost identical to mine. Wait....I add beans too. So maybe I should just follow this thread and not comment

[Bkhuna]

Red chili -

Small dices of chuck roast
Garlic
Onion
S&P
Cumin
Ancho chilies
Pasilla chilies
Guajillo chilies
Arbol chilies
Chipotle in adobo.

Water/beer/beef stock. Depends on what kind of beer I have in the fridge.

Sometimes I toss in a little bacon.

Then fiddle with the dried spices according to what I'm feeling.

[mnavarre]

Smoke the chuck some, add oxtail or shank, and swap the chipotle for chorizo or longaniza and that's pretty much what I do.

[Mr. Bones]

All Chili is good chili, exceptin tha Cincinatti Shite lol J/K

Here's how I've banged some Instant Gratification, weeknight TX Red, (with maters) out...

TX Red

[JGo37]

Order it without the spaghetti. Haven't you seen Jack Nicholson order a chicken salad sandwich?

[gcdmd]

Holding chili between your knees might be a bit messy, however.

[Mr. Bones]

Nuther Batch:
TX Red. Maters. No Beans lol

Gimme a T...

[CaptainMike]

I love when threads like these take on a life of their own.

[Panhead John]

ecowper Real BBQ? Once ya get outside the Texas Border, it gets kinda fuzzy.

[ecowper]

oh, you asked for it now!

[Mr. Bones]

We's all smilin, Cap'n...

[Mr. Bones]

ecowper Real BBQ? Once ya get outside the Texas Border, it gets kinda fuzzy.

Yup, as one distances themselves from th Republic of Texas Line, th lingerin aftertaste of Bovine Scat in th BBQ doth verily diminish, until one reaches Real BBQ lol

[CaptainMike]

I'd share my chili recipe but I'm gonna go all Troutman on y'all and be the ringer for the chili cookoff. Don't want none of y'all high-grading my secret weapons!!

[Spinaker]

I use Meathead's Chili Con Carne as a base and then I doctor it up a bit. I add 4 oz wagyu tallow, grilled lamb, brats, bacon, Carolina reaper pepper, lime and probably a few other things I am forgetting.......

[Panhead John]

I know!!! One thing I’ve noticed, is how introverted these people are. It’s like pulling teeth to get an opinion out of em.😆

[mnavarre]

One reaper?!!??!?!??!!!!! Who does this clown think he is!?!!!?!!??!!!!!!!!!

[Bkhuna]

You forgot the cucumber and cauliflower.

[Attjack]

I like me Malcolm Reeds smoked chuck chili.

[Mr. Bones]

Very Good Stuff, No Doubt, Brother!

Ain't too fond of too many folks, much less admire em....

Gonna tell ya, straight up, I likeys me some Malcolm Reed...

Yall know I grade Plenty Tough...

[Spinaker]

[fzxdoc]

That's my fav chili recipe as well. It's delicious.
